The women's synchro final saw the upset of the favorites, World Champions Irina Karavaeva and Natalia Chernova (RUS).  Irina Karavaeva did a simple back somersault as 4th move as if she had forgotten her routine or lacked stability. 

Former synchro World Champion Tatiana Petrenia paired with Ekaterina Mironova (BLR) obtained the 2nd place with 46.50 pts thanks to a good performance.  2005 World Games winners Anna Dogonadze and Jessica Simon (GER) took the bronze medal with 45.70 pts.  They performed a good routine despite Simon's loss of height on the 4th skill.  Dogonadze had to significantly lower her height to catch up. 

Jaime Moore and Claire Wright (GBR) delivered a superb routine with great execution and very nice synchronization.  They won the gold medal with 46.70 pts, 0.20 pts better than Petrenia and Mironova.  It was Claire Wright's 8th World Cup gold medal in synchronized trampoline, but the first one won paired with Jaime Moore.  Her 7 previous wins were paired with Kirsten Lawton. 

The men's synchro final saw very nice routines and a hard fought battle for the medal as the top 5 pairs ended very close.  Jacob Hansen and Peter Jensen (DEN) delivered a well executed routine that gave them the 5th place with 47.40 pts.  Adam Goetz (GER) had to significantly lower his height on the 3rd move of his routine with Martin Gromowski in order to be synchronized with his partner.  By doing so, Goetz landed very close to the springs and had to interrupt his routine shortly thereafter.  Gregoire Pennes and Sebastien Martiny (FRA), who have been competing in synchro together for more than 10 years that included gold medals at the 1996 and 1998 WAGCs, took the 4th place with 47.50 pts, missing a medal by only 0.20 pts.  Pennes lowered a little his height in the middle of the routine but Martiny was able to swiftly catch up.  They opened the routine with a half out triffis pike and concluded it with a miller lay. 

Shunsuke Nagasaki and Masaki Hitomi (JPN) stepped up in the absence of their teammates Yasuhiro Ueyama and Tetsuya Sotomura from the final.  They obtained the silver medal thanks to a great execution and despite a little lack of synchronization towards the end. 

World Champions Nikolai Kazak and Vladimir Kakorko (BLR) sealed the deal in the gold medal race thanks to a routine that combined good execution and good synchronization.  They obtained 48.80 pts, which was 0.20 pts better than Nagasaki and Hitomi.  It was Nikolai Kazak's 7th World Cup win in synchronized trampoline, including the 2nd one paired with Vladimir Kakorko.  Kazak also won World Cups paired with Dimitri Poliarush and Viacheslav Morozov.  Paired with Morozov, he won the 1993 World Cup Final.  Kazak was 16 at the time.  Kazak won the past two synchro World Championships with two different partners.

Nuno Merino and Diogo Ganchinho (POR), who had the lead after the preliminaries, ended up with the bronze medal after the lack of synchronization in the middle of the routine that was made up only around the 7th move.
