First out was Hanna Aronsson Elfman who was pitted against Germany's Emma Aicher.

The Swede got off to a bad start, ended up behind and then got stuck in a gate and left.

Next in line was Mattias Rönngren, who was up against Alexander Schmid, but also left.

In the third heat, Hilma Lövblom had a difficult task already on paper against Lena Dürr, but she also did not manage to get down to the finish line.

Germany was already on to the quarterfinals before the fourth and final heat, which Kristoffer Jakobsen won against Linus Strasser.

The competition is ongoing.
