Without two touches made in the Finals no one would have beaten Hochschorner brothers. Despite the penalisation, they finished on the second position loosing on 33 hundreds of second against Chinese Hu a Shu, who were clean reaching the time 108.05. Bronze medal goes to Polish boat Szczepanski-Pochwala (108.70). Shocking can be called the mistake of Volf and Štěpánek (second in the semi-finals) who finished on the last position in the Finals.
