In such a close final, Rebeca needed to be perfect in execution to reach the podium. She went all out, but maybe too much strength made her step off the stage at the arrival of the first stunt. She recovered, spiked the rest of the series and was happy with her result, even when she saw the score of 14,033 points, taking fifth place by 0.133 points.
