SELVA DI VAL GARDENA, Italy (AP) — Ryan Cochran-Siegle could be the best hope for an Olympic medal among the men on the U.S. Ski Team. Cochran-Siegle is the son of 1972 Olympic slalom champion Barbara Ann Cochran. He is regaining his form after breaking his neck and then switching ski brands.

Cochran-Siegle was the victim of a horrifying crash on the feared Streif course in Kitzbühel last January.
