The anticipated close race between Liv Sansoz and Muriel Sarkany didn’t materialise. Muriel could only finish 5th and after another super-final Sansoz topped out and was again the overall World Cup champion.

Yuji Hirayama could relax and with no pressure he won the event comfortably, ahead of Christian Brenna who finished the year with his best placing in the series. In a fitting conclusion to a good year Yuji took his place on the podium with his son in his arms and with the broadest off smiles.
