The favorites were Canadian Reece Howden, with four World Cup wins in the 2025/26 season, and Italian Simone Deromedis, the 2023 World Champion who had two World Cup wins in the current season. Another contender was Germany’s Florian Wilmsmann, silver medalist at the 2023 Worlds, who had three recent World Cup medals and one win.

Howden led the seeding round by almost a full second over Japan’s Satoshi Furuno. Wilmsmann was back in fourth place while Deromedis was ninth, but all 31 entrants advanced to the match races. Howden and Deromedis were both drawn in heat one of the quarter-finals, with Howden finishing fourth and failing to advance. Wilmsmann won heat two, but he would not get past the semi-finals.

The big final saw Deromedis and Furuno, along with another Italian, Federico Tomasoni, and Alex Fiva of Switzerland, the 2022 silver medalist. Deromedis and Tomasoni thrilled the hometown crowd by coming through for gold and silver, in that order, the first medals ever in the event for Italy, with Fiva taking bronze for his second medal in the event.
