The final day of competition saw Geneva-based Rachel Bonhote dominating the 25-minute final and taking out the Open Women's title. Daniela Cramer placed second, Julie De Smet claimed third and Anne Bonhote secured forth place. The Open Men's division was hotly contested with seventeen-year-old Swen Zaugg taking the win ahead of Martin Müller, Philip Mappes and Matthieu Honegger.
