The first classified in each category of the qualifying days advance to the final, the other three through a repechage of the 3 best scores among the 5 days.

Three Italian representatives qualified for the final and all three managed to get on the podium with a splendid second place for Michael Niedermair with his "7even".

A great third place was also achieved by the team composed of Elia Beghini & Letizia Raho & Francesco Sava who brought "The song of the sisters" to the sauna.
