The two best teams came back in the final round.
It was team Magic who was the fastest in this Table C relay competition. The French rider Roger-Yves Bost formed a team with the Brazilian jockey Joao Moreira. They were the fastest in both rounds. In the final round they had a time of 60.50 seconds. Team Blaze followed on the second place. The team with number one of the world Daniel Deusser and Irish jockey Neil Callan were a little bit slower in 62.00 seconds.
Team Hong Kong was the favorite of the public and entered the arena first.

Team Flames, with Simon Delestre and Chinese jockey Derek Leung were having a good round, but Derek Leung rode a wrong course and they got disqualified.
