Norwegian Kjetil Jansrud and Austrian Georg Streitberger finished in a downhill dead heat at the World Cup event in Kvitfjell, Norway on Friday.
Both racers clocked 1min 05.72secs, on a shortened course due to adverse weather conditions, while American Travis Ganong claimed the final place on the podium at 0.12secs back.
Veteran Norwegian Aksel Lund Svindal came home fifth at .37secs to slash his World Cup overall deficit to 13 points behind Austrian slalom specialist Marcel Hirscher.
Svindal's result however is enough to guarantee him the World Cup globe of downhill winner for the season.
Jansrud, who won Olympic super-G gold at Sochi earlier this month and also downhill bronze at the Black Sea resort, picks up only his second World Cup victory while Streitberger picks up win number three.
The piste, that was used for the 1994 Olympics based in Lillehammer, has been kind to both skiers with both men winning super-G races, Jansrud in 2012 and Streitberger in 2008.
A second downhill is scheduled for Saturday and a super-G the following day which could give Svindal the necessary advantage to surpass Hirscher in the overall rankings.
