Pilz won by topping 10 seconds faster than Garnbret

Jessica Pilz was second last out and passed comfortably Jain Kim's highpoint.

The clock kept ticking but she could not find a good enough sequence hesitating some 25 seconds before she did the second last move and the double dyno with ease but ten seconds late.
