In this speed class – without a jump-off – the 55 participants had just one chance to go for the win. No fewer than 23 managed a clear round, but none could match Andersson. With a lightning-fast round of 66.84 seconds, she narrowly outpaced her competitors.

German rider Christian Kukuk and Just Be Gentle were nearly as quick, but missed out on the win by a hair with a time of 66.98 seconds. American Laura Kraut delivered another sharp performance with Baloutinue, finishing in 67.20 seconds to claim third place.
