"After Friday's challenging downhill day for the women, the sun broke through in Crans-Montana for the men. The race was opened by Justin Murisier, who set the pace for the race course at 1:56.54. He was promptly undercut by Canada's Cameron Alexander, who beat him by 0.31 seconds, while his teammate James Crawford skied across the finish more than 90 seconds behind the Swiss. Team USA's Bryce Bennett was next in bib 4 but he fell 0.06 seconds shy of Murisier."
"At the top of the standings, Franjo von Allmen from Switzerland proved in a league of his own. The Swiss skier defended his Crans-Montana downhill title in emphatic fashion, stopping the clock at 1:55.00 on the dot, to claim a commanding home victory, 0.65 seconds ahead of Italy's Dominik Paris, while Cochran-Siegle rounded out the podium in third, 0.05 seconds behind Paris."
"Things quickly started to heat up though, with Alexis Monney taking the lead from Alexander before Florian Schieder snatched the lead with a time of 1:55.95-the first time below 1 minute 56. His lead was not long in the making though, as his teammate Dominik Paris shot across the finish line 0.30 seconds faster. But the double Italian lead was promptly interrupted by Marco Odermatt, who skied in bib 10 in-between Paris and Schieder."
