World Cup Final

Tacen, Slovenia hosted the World Cup Final from 9 to 11 September with double points awarded in each category. During the semifinal run of the men's C1 event a newly built concrete block near the end of the course started to crack. This forced the organizers to shorten the course for the rest of the events. The course only had 14 gates after the change. The jury also allowed the top 15 from the men's C1 semifinal to qualify for the final instead of the top 10 because the crack affected some of the later runners like Nicolas Peschier and Pierre-Antoine Tillard.
