In the women’s pro final, Oda defeated compatriot Miyu Ito after advancing through the top eight, the statement said, adding that both competitors showcased technical precision and creativity, but Oda secured the title with a Flip Front Feeble.
Meanwhile, the men’s final saw Kang face Brazil’s Pedro Quintas in a three-minute showdown, where Kang delivered a “strong performance under pressure”, landing a 36 Front front board to claim the championship, the statement added.
