He secured a silver medal in the Super-G event, marking him as the fourth American Alpine skier to win a medal at these Games. This also made him the first male American athlete to achieve this milestone.

Historic Achievement in Olympic Alpine Skiing

She and his fiancé, Jessie, were present to support him during this significant event. Cochran-Siegle reflected on the thrilling experience, highlighting the emotional weight of sharing this moment with his loved ones.
