3rd Place for Khan/Küstner at the WDSF Junior II Standard tournament at the SuDaFe
On Sunday afternoon, 33 couples took part at the last of the
four WDSF ranking tournaments in Berlin. In the semi-final four
nations were represented in the Junior II Standard tournament, in
the final there were six couples from three nations, while three
boys were named Nikita. The proportion of the nations was three to
two to one: three times Russia, two times Germany, one time
Denmark. Nikita Olinichenko/Elizaveta Pustronakova from Russia,
placed 2nd in the Latin tournament the day before, won the
tournament. They clearly outscored the other competitors. The
decision about the 2nd place was very narrow and finally won by the
Danish couple Eugen Miu/Sandra Overballe Pedersen. Kevin Khan/Liana
Küstner finished 3rd. Place 4 and 6 were occupied by the other two
Russian couples Yakov Predko/Valeria Zagrivina and Nikita
Verlma/Polina Beloedova. The siblings Yatsun from Germany finished
5th.
