Gold went to Ondrej Polivka of the Czech Republic – the athlete that Weale beat into second place to win the Bath International two weeks ago.
All four British women reached their final on Saturday, with Heather Fell finishing as the highest placed Brit in 19th. Louise Helyer came 19th with 19-year-old Lydia Rosling coming 25th at her second World Cup and Charlotte Grandfield finishing 28th.
