The men’s cross event saw the return of the top two finishers from Beijing 2022, Éliot Grondin, who was also the reigning World Champion, and defending Olympic champion Alessandro Hämmerle, in what would promise to be an exciting rematch.

After the quarterfinal, French brothers Aïdan Chollet and Jonas Chollet, Loan Bozzolo, and Jakob Dusek (AUT) competed in one semifinal heat, while Grondin, Hämmerle, Nick Baumgartner and Lorenzo Sommariva (ITA) rounded out the second heat. Eventually, it would be Hämmerle, Grondin, Dusek and Aïdan Chollet who advanced to the big final. The big final saw an exciting finish to the event, with Grondin and Hämmerle fiercely battling until the finish, with Hämmerle crossing the finish line a split second ahead of Grondin to capture the gold and defend his title from Beijing 2022.

In the six times this event has been contested, only three boarders have won gold medals, as Pierre Vaultier (FRA; 2014-18) and Seth Wescott (USA; 2006-10) also defended their titles.
