Final

WORLD PAIRS FINAL

Host nation Russia turned in an almost unstoppable display, dropping just a single point, to be crowned as the 2017 World Pairs Champions, Nikita Federenko going through the meeting unbeaten by an opponents whilst Boris Dvoynev dropped a point only to Norway's Thoresen, with the title all but in the bag already. Behind them England turned in a solid pairs display, led by Liam Reay with 12+2, to pick up the silver medal and 11+1 from Rudi Juritzen led Norway to bronze.

Of the rest Steen Eriksen rode well for Denmark but received little support until reserve Jeppesen came in for their last 2 rides after Isaksen had struggled. Nemecek showed his quality for the Czechs but didn't get enough support and Sweden lacked a big points scorer who was able to lift them towards a top 3 place in a tight meeting. New Zealand were cut well adrift with top man Fillippe Chong totally out of form and Williamson being their only rider to finish ahead of an opponent.
