Silver was taken by the champion of the Olympics in Sochi Canadian Justin Dufur Lapant (78.56), bronze went to the representative of Kazakhstan Julia Galysheva (77.40).
Russian athletes failed to break into the main final. Regina Rakhimova and Ekaterina Stolyarova became the 10th and 11th in the second final round.
“To be honest, I am upset that I lost to myself that I made a mistake,” Rakhimova lamented. “I do not regret that I lost to these rivals. I regret that I lost to myself first. Probably more upset than I am happy. I would be happy if I stood on the pedestal today.”
“I don’t know yet about my career,” said Stolyarova. “Now there is a championship of Russia, you need to speak on it, and then we’ll see it. As for the performance here, that is, some questions about refereeing. Many have the same passage, but my competitors have significantly higher.”
Stolyarova, a participant in the 2010 and 2014 Olympic Games, resumed a career in 2017 after a break.
