Now there’s a new team combined event that made its debut at the world championships this week and will also be contested at the Olympics for the first time at next year’s Milan-Cortina Games.

Swiss skiers Franjo von Allmen and Loic Meillard won gold in the men's team combined event at the alpine world championships on Wednesday in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Austria.

Franjo von Allmen got a second gold at the alpine skiing world championships with the help of partner Loic Meillard when they led a stunning Swiss medal sweep in the team combined event. Sunday's downhill winner Von Allmen trailed that event's bronze medallist Alexis Monney by two-hundredths after the downhill portion but Meillard turned matters around in the concluding slalom leg.
