The male grom section showcased an insane level of riding since the qualifications where Norwegian ripper Marcus Kleveland stomped a bs double cork 1260. In the finals the challenge for the first place was beetwin Marcus and his team mate Isak Ulstein which resulted the best and conquered the top of the podium. Third place for Tit Stante from Slovenia, another name to remember.

In the male rookie category the battle for the title was amazing with several changes in top positions during the 3 final runs. The Norwegian Ole Christian Hagen conquered his second victory in Livigno, followed on the podium by Simon Bürki from Swiss and Rowan Coultas from Great Britain.

For the 8th time in the history of the World Rookie Fest, Norway resulted the best team of the event.
