CRANS-MONTANA, Switzerland — World champion Franjo von Allmen led a Swiss sweep on home snow Saturday at the first World Cup downhill since winning his first career gold medal two weeks ago.
“Today’s result is a little bittersweet,” Crawford said. “I thought I skied well enough to be closer to the top guys, but it was a super solid day and I’m quite happy with the skiing today."

Odermatt earned 80 World Cup points to extend his lead in the overall standings to 400 ahead of Henrik Kristoffersen, who does not race in speed events.
