In the final, Keegan Palmer (Australia) took the lead with 94.04, a score that would not be beaten. He led Barros and Cory Juneau (United States).

Aurelien Giraud (France) led qualification with a 35.88, ahead of Jagger Eaton (United States) on 35.07 and Nyjah Huston (United States) on 34.87. In the final, Kelvin Hoefler (Brazil) took the lead after the run section of the tournament with a score of 17.82. Behind him on 17.25 was Eaton, whilst Huston scored 9.11 on run two. In the first trick round, almost everyone scored around the nine-point mark, whilst only Eaton landed a trick in the second round. Three riders scored over nine in the third round, led by Yuto Horigome (Japan) with a 9.35. The fourth was another quiet round, with only Horigome landing a serious scoring trick, a 9.50. In the final round, a 9.30 from Horigome would all but seal the title.

Funa Nakayama (Japan) led qualification with a 15.77 ahead of her compatriot Momiji Nishiya (Japan). In the final, Root Zwetsloot (Netherlands) led after the run phase with a 7.14. Behind her, Rayssa Leal (Brazil) score 6.07 ahead of Nishiya on 5.93. Aori Nishimura (Japan) scored 3.48 on one of her runs, but a fall on the first cost her big points. It was Alexis Sablone (United States) and Zwetsloot who started the trick phase strongest. Nakamura became the first skater to lay down a trick with a score higher than five, a feat beaten by Sablone a round later. Instead of the big tricks, it was the consistency of Nishiya which came to the fore. In the final round, she scored a 3.43 which took her score to 15.26. Nakayama would have won with a similar score but could not land her final trick.
