It was a masterclass from Dukurs who won all four runs on his way to gold in Canada setting a new track record on his second run.

So dominant was the 34-year-old that he finished with a mammoth 0.51 seconds over eventual runner up, Russia’s Nikita Tregubov.

South Korea's reigning Olympic champion Yun Sung-bin could only muster a third-place finish coming home 0.88 seconds back.

Martins' older bother, Tomass finished in fifth while this year’s World Cup winner Alexander Tretyakov was down in sixth.
