The day at the festival began with changeable weather - sometimes the sun was shining, sometimes there were rain showers, but the atmosphere was still excellent. The numerous visitors were not deterred by the capricious weather and flocked to the various events.
The audience went wild, especially at the Whip Off Contest, when the riders sent their carts flying across the course. The athletes also performed impressively in the downhill seeding run, despite the challenging conditions on the course, which became extremely muddy and slippery in places due to the rain.
