From Igls, Austria
German slider Felix Loch took his first gold of the World Cup season, besting countryman David Möller and Italian Dominik Fischnaller. Loch was quickest in both runs despite a relatively slow start on his first run. Möller was consistent, setting the third fastest time in the first run and second fastest in the second, to take silver. Looking to go back to back races with a win, Fischnaller came into the second heat in fifth, but put down a solid second run to move up to third. American Chris Mazdzer took fourth with two very consistent runs (4th and 5th quickest), while Armin Zöggeler had a disappointing second run to drop from third to fifth.
Samuel Edney led the way for the Canadians in sixth, with teammate Michtel Malyk finishing. The Americans filled out the field 24th, 26th and 30th.
