The petite finale was disputed between the two Swedish teams: Team Wings, Anna Östling, Linnea Wennergren, Annie Wennergren, Annika Carlunger, Anna White Holmdal and Beyond Racing Team, Martina Carlsson, Svea Sahlin, Amanda Ljunggren, Hanna Gaskell-Brown, Hedvig Hedström, with Team Wings, the more experienced winning the 3rd place and bronze medal.
