Grondin has back-to-back Crystal Globe wins on the World Cup circuit, and it comes a week after he won world championship gold in Switzerland.
The 23-year-old needed a top-three finish in Saturday’s event to claim the Crystal Globe and followed through with a loss in the big final to Austria’s Jakob Dusek.
Grondin won three gold medals, three silver and a bronze on the World Cup circuit this season.
