Our colleagues at LTV Sports have footage of his third run of four at the track, in which he maintained his position despite not particularly fast conditions.
But to see the moment Dukurs made sporting history, here is the full fourth round of the competition at Konigssee. His final run starts at 1 hour 14 minutes.
LTV Sports also produced this graphic to mark the victory:
