12.12 This is the final day of FreeFly-Slalom of the 2024 season! Let’s have a look at our possible World Champion scenarions:

Francesco Cappuzzo is in a strong position to win. If he finishes ahead of Julien Rattoti, he will win the title. Rattotti still has a chance to win the title IF he finishes three positions ahead of Cappuzzo. Bastien Escofet can no longer be World Champion, but if he finishes in the top 7, he will guarantee his 3rd place overall for the season. Gollito Estredo and Oscar Leclair still have a chance to finish 3rd this season but for that to happen, they need to win this event, and Bastien has to finish 8th.

For the women, if Nia Suardiaz finishes above Kylie she will be World Champion. Kylie needs to be three positions above Nia to be become World Champion. Bowien can finish 3rd, but to achieve that she must finish ahead of Mar. Mar can be 3rd if she finishes 3 full places ahead of Bowien.
