Clear win for Stöckl / Belz in Youth Standard
This year, the Youth A 10 Dance couples could sleep one hour longer before coming to Hessen tanzt. They opened their Standard competition next to the first round of the other competitions. Due to the closed marking system, the audience couldn't see how close the placings were. Dominik Stöckl / Katharina Belz (Tanzsportzentrum Stuttgart-Feuerbach) danced their second final at Hessen tanzt, after a final place in the Adults Standard. Receiving 33 out of 35 1 placings, their win was never doubted. A close tie for the second place developed between Mikael Tatarkin / Nicole Wirt (Tanzsport Zentrum Heusenstamm) and Kevin Khan / Liana Küstner (TSA d. !. SC Norderstedt). With both couples having 12.5 as sum of places, the second place went to the couple from Hesse. A range from second to sixth places resulted in a fourth place for Arseni Pavlov / Nicole Balski (btc Grün-Gold der Turngemeinde in Berlin 1848) Similar mixed results were seen with the remaining two couples of the final: Having 2 points less of the sum of places, Ricardo Pérez / Aischa Khader-Lindholz (TC Blau-Gelb Grimma) finished 5 th, followed by Henrik Buchholz / Kristina Limonova (Tanzsportzentrum Stuttgart-Feuerbach).
