The 19-year-old Calgarian, who won bronze in four of the previous six Grand Prix events, sat in first place after posting the longest jump of the day at 139.9 metres in the opening round, but dropped to 25th after falling in her final attempt.
Slovenia’s Ema Klinec won the final Grand Prix event of the season, finishing ahead of compatriot Nika Kriznar, who claimed the overall title despite missing the top step of the podium for the first time all season. “Overall, for me, the summer is preparation for the winter season which I am looking forward to,” said Strate, who was not able to jump on her second attempt after being flagged for being late and finished 28th.
