McIntyre led out of the SkiErg and built his advantage through the early stations, which gave him a clear win. Further back, the race for the other podium places went into the wall balls. Rončević passed Kent for second, and Lautwein passed Kent for third at the line.

Weeks returns to the top

Weeks regained the women's world title ahead of Jacoby, with Belle Macfarlane completing the podium. The Manchester recap describes Weeks holding the lead into the wall balls and finishing 32 seconds ahead of Jacoby.
