Norway's Simen Sellaeg is the final skier to go in this downhill competition and the 22-year-old is replacing the injured Fredrik Moller.

He is the youngest competitor in today's event.

Adrian Smiseth Sejersted is racing with a broken shoulder ... ouch.

He has finished in 15th.

Norway's Fredrik Moller was airlifted from a crash in Bormio just five days ago after crashing on a training slope.

The 25-year-old dislocated his shoulder and it looks like his Games are over - or on hold - as he is not in the line-up for this alpine skiing, men's team combined event.

There are two Norwegian teams in this event and Adrian Smiseth Sejersted is up next, followed by Simen Sellaeg.

The top three remains unchanged with four downhill skiers to go.

We have two Norwegians to come .. can they shake the top three up?

I am finding this more exciting than downhill itself.

For some reason, these male athletes are taking more risk today to do this for their team.

These downhills have it all on their back - if they give their slalom skiers the opportunity to come in and do this, that is an amazing gift. A nice blanket.

Swiss Alpine skier Franjo von Allmen was crowned the first champion of the 2026 Winter Olympics in the downhill.

Von Allmen blazed down the iconic Stelvio in a time of one minute 51.61 seconds, 0.20 seconds quicker than Italian Giovanni Franzoni.

"It feels kind of like a movie, not really real," said Von Allmen.

"I can't tell you what it means to me."

When the last Olympics took place, Von Allmen was yet to make his World Cup debut but he has enjoyed a meteoric rise to the top.

He won World Championship gold in 2025 - the youngest man to win the downhill title in 36 years - with that victory coming before he won the first of his four titles on the World Cup circuit.

But it hasn't been any easy run to glory.

At 17, after the sudden death of his father, he struggled to finance his promising ski career.

"My racing career was hanging in the balance," he told Swiss outlet Blick., external

He decided to crowdfund, and eventually raised enough money to continue for another season, after which he made the jump on to the Swiss national squad.

He credits training as a carpenter with "shaping him", and has previously spent his summers working on construction sites.

But that will not be necessary now, having become the fifth Swiss Olympic downhill champion since 1948.

Franjo von Allmen took a really unorthodox approach to this downhill stage - looked like a bullet through the air, sensational skiing.

But that mistake in the final quarter ultimately cost him six tenths of a second - but that was still quite something from Von Allmen.

Switzerland wanted a one-two-three and they have that at the moment, but just in second, third and fourth.

Italy's Giovanni Franzoni, who won individual silver on Saturday, has disrupted the Swiss' plan and is top of the standings so far.

We have six skiers left to go ...

Germany have a chance today because the slalom section of this team combined will be skied by Linus Strasser who's one of the top slalom skiers in the world at the moment. Very, very consistent.

Simon Jocher has given Strasser a really good platform in the other leg later today.

Franjo von Allmen looked to be flying down the slope but it wasn't fast enough because he is in fourth!

Wow. What a competition we are being treated to here.

We know that the Swiss are favourites in this event and it's no surprise because Alexis Monney has just skied straight into second place.

Olympic champion Franjo von Allmen is up next ...

Italy's Dominik Paris has just knocked France's Nils Allegre out of the third spot.

Paris claimed bronze in the individual downhill final on Saturday so here's clearly on the hunt for a second!

A successful morning of training for Team GB’s women’s skeleton riders.

Tabitha Stoecker clocked the fastest time in heat one and second-fastest in heat two - with times of 57.57 and 57.80.

Amelia Coleman wasn’t far behind - third-fastest in heat one and sixth in heat two while Freya Tarbit was fourth in both.

We are at the halfway stage of the downhill competition and Italy's Giovanni Franzonni is in the lead with a time of one minute 51.80 seconds.

Switzerland's Marco Odermatt is in second, 0.28 of a second behind the Italian, and and France's Nils Allegre is in third.

What a finish from Giovanni Franzonni. Italy have removed Marco Odermatt form the leader's chair.

Italy out in front and have a real chance.

I know you’re all thinking boohoo you’re at the Winter Olympics but let me tell you it is a TREK up to the sliding centre in Cortina.

One thing’s for sure I’ll be fit as a butcher’s dog getting up here most days.

Almost entirely uphill to get to the top. Although actually the finish line is pretty much at the same height as the start. Work that one out.

Anyway I’m here this morning to see how Team GB get on in their first official skeleton training sessions.

With some serious medal contender among their ranks, let’s see how they get on.

The home crowd are absolutely loving it as Giovanni Franzoni has skied his team into first position with a fantastic time of one minute 51.80 seconds.

We've had eight skiers so far but there's just a little pause because Italy's Florian Schieder has taken a tumble.

Thankfully, he is fine and Saturday's downhill silver medalist Giovanni Franzoni is up next.

Switzerland will take some beating now.

Marco Odermatt has given himself and his team-mate Loic Melliard every chance of skiing for gold in the second half of the team combined.

The Norwegians are probably the biggest threat to ruining a Swiss clean sweep.

Their speed specialists are Adrian Sejersted and Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, while Henrik Kristoffersen, Atle Lie McGrath and Timon Haugan share many medals in slalom.

They have fielded three teams to compete in this event so can they get on the podium and upset Switzerland?

We shall soon see ...
