Returning from injury with a performance that silenced any questions about his form, 31-year-old Nyjah Huston dominated the field with a total score of 36.4 points. His technical run included a series of high-difficulty maneuvers, such as a switch frontside heelflip tailslide and a frontside nollie heelflip noseblunt slide, both earning Nine Club scores. This victory pushes Huston to the top of the 2026 SLS Super Crown season rankings with 47 points.

The podium sweep was completed by Japanese rider Toa Sasaki, who surged into second place with a final attempt score of 9.2, and Brazilian skater Giovanni Vianna, who took third. Sasaki’s late-game consistency and Vianna's powerful rail work underscored a successful day for the Monster Energy team. Meanwhile, in the women's division, Olympic silver medalist Liz Akama added to the team's success by securing third place in a highly competitive field, finishing with 30.5 points.

With the European leg of the tour now concluded, the 2026 SLS Championship Tour moves to Tokyo for its sixth stop at the Ariake Arena on November 14.
