Swiss skier Franjo von Allmen is having the kind of Olympics most athletes only dream about.

The 24-year-old from Bern has grabbed his third gold in five days, powering to victory in the Super-G to add to his downhill and team combined titles. 

His run, just 13 hundredths of a second clear of the American Ryan Cochran-Siegle, was enough to make history. 

No Swiss athlete has ever won three golds at a single Winter Games before. 

The favorite before the games, teammate Marco Odermatt took bronze, completing his full Olympic medal set.
