The finals were held on the same day as the qualifiers. In the men's category, 12 riders advanced out of 23, and in the women's, 8 out of 13 made it through. Besides the physical challenge of the 4 runs, riders also had to deal with tough weather conditions, especially the women's category, who rode in the morning facing wind, cold, and light rain.
In the men's category, the level was just as high as the women's. Unfortunately, two strong podium contenders didn’t make it due to crashes: Sebastián Cuellar and Gustavo Bala Loka. Sebastián had qualified in 3rd place but crashed during warm-up (he threw a 720 cork in the 10-minute practice before the contest, blacked out, and got a small cut on his eyebrow.
