Cantanna/Richter Runners-up World Champions Freestyle Latin

Michele Cantanna/Maria Richter reached the silver medal in World Championship Freestyle Latin with their performance “Super Mario”. With this kittenish and humorous show they offered a lighter entertainment than the World Champions Vadim Garbuzov/Kathrin Menzinger, who won the third World Championship Freestyle title at home, the second in Latin, with their performance “I am a Refugee”. With Kirill Ganapolsky/Kim Pätzug we had a second German couple in the final of eight couples. They finished 4^th behind the Italian couple Zingarelli/Campana.

At the World Championship 10-dance Dima Doga/Sarah Ertmer could not realize their plans. They missed the final and were given the runners-up place 7. After two 4^th places at the World Championships in 2014 and 2015 their dream to enter the rostrum this year unfortunately did not come true.

Timur Imametdinov/Nina Bezzubova could gain another victory in a world ranking competition. They left the floor as winner of this WDSF World Open Latin competition in which 93 couples took part. Maxim Stepanov/Ksenya Rubina also reached the final and finished 6^th. Two more DTV couples shared the 8^th place in the semi-final: Artur Balandin/Anna Salita and Zsolt Sandor Cseke/Malika Dzumaev.

At the World Open Standard competition two DTV couples reached the semi-final out of 89 couples: Valentin and Renata Lusin were placed 8^th, Anatoliy Novoselov/Tasja Schulz 9^th. At the Youth Latin competition Daniel Dingis/Natalia Velikina reached the final and ranked 7^th. Florian Müller/Andrea Rhinow-Conrad were happy about entering the final of the Senior I Latin competition; they finished 6^th.

Gert Faustmann/Alexandra Kley ranked 2^nd at the Senior II Standard competition, Bernd and Sandra Ketturat were given the 5^th place. Peter and Miriam Pfeiffer reached the semi-final (9^th place) as well as Bernhard and Sonja Fuss (split 11^th place). Knut and Iris Möller ranked 4^th at the Senior III Standard competition.
