Julie Pomagalski of France finished third after beating Svetlana Boldikova of Russia in the small final. Alexa Loo of Richmond, B.C., was the top Canadian in 19th.

Russia's Ekaterina Tudigescheva, who won Wednesday by beating Krings in the final, ended up 17th and failed to qualify for the final stages.
