Michael Grice won his third gold at the 2006 Games.
32-year-old Pole Tomasz Sikora won his only career Olympic award.
The 39-year-old Russian Sergei Chepikov was the only one of all the participants who did not make a single slip, but not the highest speed did not allow him to rise above fifth place.
