Innerhofer, a winner here two years ago, went quickest on the icy course in temperatures which were as low as -13 degrees Celsius.

His time of two minutes, 1.64 seconds was three-quarters of a second quicker than his nearest rival, the Austrian veteran Michael Walchhofer.

Walchhofer's compatriot Klaus Kroell was 0.97 behind the quickest time in third.
