The 24-year old Olympic and world champion prevented US slider Chris Mazdze becoming the first American to win a World Cup title in 16 years.

Italy’s Dominik Fischnaller, who won the season opener in Lillehammer, completed the podium while British luger Adam Rosen finished 27th.

“I feel totally comfortable here in Whistler," said Loch.
