The 32-year-old swept down the piste in 1min 33.21sec at his home event to see off Switzerland's Beat Feuz by 0.22s with France's Brice Roger a further 0.11s back in third.

Roger, starting in 49th position, shaded Norway's Adrien Smiseth Sejersted for third by one hundredths of a second.

Ahead of next week's World Cup finals in Are, Sweden, Jansrud, on 360 points, is uncatchable in the Super-G standings after his closest pursuer, compatriot Aksel Lund Svindal, failed to finish on Sunday.

He was winning his 11th World Cup Super-G and second of the season after Lake Louise. He took the discipline's crystal globe in 2015 and 2017.
