Dvaatřicetiletý Ondra v deštivém počasí na Letenské pláni nenavázal na finále z předchozích dvou ročníků Světového poháru, která mu přinesla stříbro v roce 2023 a loňské šesté místo. Na prvním boulderu zapsal zónu a sahal po topu, kde se ale stejně jako drtivá většina jeho soupeřů neudržel. Tuto cestu zdolal jen lídr SP Sorato Anraku z Japonska, který byl v semifinále ziskem 84,3 bodu za tři topy a jednu zónu nejlepší.Ondra na zónu dosáhl i na druhém boulderu, ale v cestě náročné na rovnováhu se na vrchol nedostal.
