Langbakk and Poiso received identical trick totals of 30.500. The Canadian’s variety score of 8.750, compared with 7.750 for his rival, decided the final after he had steadily increased his trick scores through qualification and the semifinal rounds.
The sixteen-year-old earned his first major international podium and Canada’s only top-three finish at these championships. Luchkin collected his third medal of the week, while the first junior championship rail competition brought the eight-day snowboard programme to a close.
