Fischnaller came into the second heat just .002 behind Russia’s Semen Pavlichenko and well ahead of most anyone else. His second run of 48.974 couldn’t be matched by anyone, and it was enough to give him gold.

Pavlichenko finished second, ahead of teammate Roman Repilov in third.

The gold for Fischnaller was his fifth medal in seven races on the season.

Olympic gold medalist David Gleirscher finished fourth, with Russian Aleksandr Gorbatcevich fifth and Kevin Fischnaller sixth.

For the second time in Lillehammer, Germany was left out of the top six, with Johannes Ludwig  the top German in eighth.

Despite finishing third, Repilov holds a commanding lead in the race to the Crystal Globe, leaving Lillehammer with an 86 point lead over Fischnaller.

Jonny Gustafson was the top-finishing American in 13th. Teammate Tucker West moved up from 19th to 17th in the second heat.
