Ryan Cochran-Siegle follows in his mother's Olympic footsteps

Ahead of the World Cup races in Aspen, Cochran-Siegle recently finished 13th in Livigno and is continuing a family legacy after his mother Barbara Ann Cochran's 1972 Olympic gold.
After a broken neck and knee tears, Ryan Cochran-Siegle recovered from meniscus and ACL injuries and endured seven months sidelined that shaped his rehab approach.
His trophy case includes a 2022 Beijing Games Super-G silver, and he plans to return to Bormio, Italy, the site of his lone World Cup victory, while the Cochran family runs Cochran's Ski Area, Vermont.
He says the biggest difference this time is already having an Olympic medal, and he stresses preparation to `ensure that I'm bringing my best`, adding `There's nothing to lose`.
Reflecting on family history, Ryan Cochran-Siegle describes hearing his mother Barbara Ann Cochran's excitement even 50 years after her gold as empowering and says following in her footsteps gives him a personal connection.
