Prejudging Highlights

At the beginning of the event, announcer Bob Cicherillo introduced all five athletes. Moreover, despite the small roster, the judges required only one callout for the entire group.

During the comparisons, Acal and Ciobu spent the most time center stage, indicating they were likely top contenders for the title as the competition headed into the finals.
