VARIOUS OF VON ALLMEN'S TEAMMATE TANGUY NEF [#14] DURING SLALOM STORY:   Switzerland's Franjo von Allmen's dream Olympics continued as he won his second gold medal in 48 hours by partnering Tanguy Nef to victory in the Alpine skiing men's team combined on Monday (February 9).   Von Allmen was only fourth-fastest down the Stelvio course on which he won gold in the blue-riband downhill on Saturday (February 7), but Nef nailed the slalom leg in sizzling style.   The Swiss duo won a fascinating event, making its Olympic debut in its new format, by a commanding 0.99 seconds. There was despair, though, for Italians Giovanni Franzoni and Alex Vinatzer.   Franzoni was fastest in the downhill leg by 0.17 seconds on a crisp and sunny morning in the Italian resort but Vinatzer, the last skier to go in the second leg, buckled under the pressure and was only 18th fastest in the slalom as they finished seventh overall.   Switzerland's first team of Marco Odermatt and Loic Meillard, tipped as the favourites, tied for the silver medal with Austria's Vincent Kriechmayr and Manuel Feller, a sizeable 0.99 seconds behind the winners.   Austrians Raphael Haaser and Michael Matt missed a medal by 0.03 seconds in fourth place.
