REPORT:  - Great beginning of this final with the World Champion Dragulescu from Romania. He presented his routine with a lot of power and very secure. Vichrows then followed with not that much speed and Sapronenko with conditional problems after a long competitions’ season.
A further highlight of this final was the routine of the Canadian Kyle Shewfelt with a high-quality routine without mistakes. He sticked his double-double dismount securely.
>> Karboenko presented his routine with a lot of power but stepped out of bounds at the end. 
>> Romania’s Suciu presented his routine dynamic and with a lot of speed today but with some problems during the acrobatic elements which cost him some tenths of his final score in the end...
>> Deferr from Spain finished his routine with a fall at the end of his last acrobatic series. The last starter of the final was the powerful Jordan Yovchev  from Bulgaria. He presented his routine with a lot of power, dynamics and high-quality technique – until the end where he has slight problems with his last acrobatic series...
