The Austrian became only the third man to complete the so-called speed double at a worlds after Hermann Maier did it in 1999 and Bode Miller in 2005. AdKriechmayr edged Andreas Sander of Germany to the gold by one-hundredth of a second, with 2017 world champion Beat Feuz finishing 0.18 behind for the bronze. Kriechmayr avoided similarly spectacular scenes when he opened the race on an icy course after a freezing cold night. Defending world champion Kjetil Jansrud finished just more than a second behind in eighth.
