The 2016 Olympic champion from Rio de Janeiro Bacon finished third at the finish line, thus defending the title, also winning at Vilamoura in November.

– Zosia started very well, but on the first + tack + she made a mistake. Bacon, who played the role with Spaniard Blanca Mansion, did not pay attention to the left side, and at the same time + gave + the rights. These two players lost contact with the rest of the field and it became a little nervous. Thankfully, Klepacka hasn’t lost her spot on the podium. There was a chance for gold, but we’re happy with the bronze – said Cesarius Pjorschek, coach of the women’s team.
