In the 1/8 finals, they defeated Italians Rolland Fischnaller and Lucia Dalmasso. In the quarter-final race, they fought a fierce battle with the Germans Elias Huber and Melanie Hochreiter, but after their a mistake in the last sector of the route, Poles were promoted to the best four.
Also, two more pairs of Polish snowboarders took part in the Winterberg competition. Unfortunately, Michał Nowaczyk and Weronika Dawidek finished only the 1/8 finals. Then, Mikołaj Rutkowski and Maria Chyc were eliminated in the preliminaries.
