“In constant touch” – a world champion premiere

"Did he remain true to his philosophy to create a masterpiece once again?" That was the big question behind the secret of the new choreography of the TSC Braunschweig A-team formation. After a fabulous world championship in the Volkswagen hall in Braunschweig, in which 18 teams from ten different nations participated, one can confidently answer this question with "Yes!". With "In constant touch" the team won with Knaacks 14th choreography the tenth world champion title. The new judging system 2.1, that was used in Germany for a world championship for the first time, gave with 38,786 points the victory to the new composed team. Not only Knaack was setting a new course with his new masterpiece, but also the defending champion Vera from Tyumen. With his new theme "Russian souvenir" he was given the silver medal, while the 1. TC Ludwigsburg stood out once again with "Amour fatal" and was rewarded with the bronze medal.
