At 8:00 pm Sep. 2, 2008, the ending ceremony was held by the race committee. Adventure Sport NZ finished race by 20:5:32 to pick the laurel crown, win 35,000 US dollars bonuses. Wilsa hellyhansen occupied the second by eight minutes later; the one who obtained the third was the Nike/Beaver Creek. Because of unfamiliar with the international rule of the outdoor games and less experience in canoeing, mountain bicycle and Rock Descending, most of the Chinese teams are after rank no. 10 in the competition. But Beijing Toread team (21#) obtained the Fourth, which is exciting. As the representative of the Chinese teams, they performed a Chinese traditional program-----beat the drum and won the best applause.
