Twenty days of zone preparation and two of competition have been necessary for the Spanish team to win the world championship in an environment in which the host team (Portugal) started as a favorite, and in which they participated. total of 68 athletes from 23 countries.

The first day of competition was on Saturday, in the "north" zone, an area where a good number of catches were expected since in previous days many fish had been seen, and in which a great state of the sea would allow a good part of competitors obtained margin of advantage for the second day. Xavi Blanco (Spain) got the first position in this first round, followed very closely by André and Pedro Dominges (Portugal), the reigning world champion Giorgios Vasiliou (Cyprus), Jody Lot (Portugal), Sergio de Julián and Santiago López Cid (Spain), all of them with a margin of scores with which it was difficult to foresee the final results.

The second day took place on Sunday in the "southern" zone and it was expected a lower performance in terms of number of captures, which was confirmed at the end of the five hours of testing as, for the most part, the athletes presented quite fewer pieces than in the previous day.

Sergio de Julián obtained the fourth position, and Santiago López Cid the sixth.

After the calculation of percentages for the classification by nations, the Spanish Selection obtained the gold, being the silver for Portugal and the bronze for Chile.
