Numerous athletes from the first lead event of the season last weekend will be participating, including the entire podium of Wujiang with the three gold medalists Sorato Anraku, Erin McNeice and Chaehyun Seo. Ai Mori and Hannah Meul start the 2025 season in Bali.
For the DACH region, the women will also be Martina Demmel and Roxana Wienand for Germany, Liv Egli for Switzerland and the Austrian team of Flora Oblasser, Eva-Maria Hammelmüller, Julia Fiser and Mattea Pötzi.
