\nCormac Comerford in action in the men’s super-G<\/p>\n
Ireland’s Cormac Comerford finished 37th in the men’s super-G at the Milan-Cortina Olympics on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The Dubliner completed the event to finish over nine seconds behind winner Switzerland’s Franjo von Allmen, who claimed a third gold medal of the event.<\/p>\n
Comerford was the final competitor and was visibly pleased to complete the difficult course, saying hello to the television cameras while speaking in Irish.<\/p>\n
He also spoke to his family in Ireland, virtually, just seconds after finishing, in a touching moment as they offered their congratulations.<\/p>\n
Five athletes failed to complete their runs, including Italian veteran Stelvio king Dominik Paris. He lost a ski early on but thankfully managed to avoid injury as he slid out.<\/p>\n
Comerford said after: “There are lots of emotions, lots of new feelings, lots of learning and experience. So, it’s a lot to take in. I\u2019m glad to have shaved a bit of time off my downhill and bring it down in the super-G.<\/p>\n
“I knew I had the capability, the strength and the power to challenge this slope. So, coming down the downhill and making it down was a really big step for me, and it gave me a lot more confidence going into the super-G.<\/p>\n
“I’m really proud of myself that I was able to do it, prepare for it, and bring it down. It\u2019s a great experience and I\u2019ll bring that forward. The hype around the Stelvio slope is huge \u2013 everyone calls it the toughest downhill in the world, and it\u2019s pretty gnarly. At this time of year, it\u2019s fairly mellow so it\u2019s nice to be able to race now with the conditions aren\u2019t quite as gnarly, but the slope is really challenging. I enjoy it. I love a challenge.<\/p>\n
“When the going gets tough, that\u2019s when I get going. I love the challenge, and it\u2019s great fun in the end to bring it down.”<\/p>\n

It was another masterclass by Von Allmen to emerge with victory.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old, who also claimed gold in the downhill and team combined, once again left nothing in the tank as he went full throttle down the bumpy and winding course to win by 0.13 seconds from American Ryan Cochran-Siegle.<\/p>\n
Marco Odermatt, who had been tipped to win multiple golds in the build-up to the Games, found himself eclipsed by his younger team-mate again and \u200chad to settle for \u2060bronze to add to the silver medal he won in the men’s combined event on Monday.<\/p>\n
A lovely moment as Cormac Comerford’s family congratulate him, virtually, after completing the men’s super-G at the Winter Olympics.<\/p>\n
