Otlile Mabuse wins the Golden Crown of Bad Pyrmont

From the glamorous setting of the historical palace garden of Bad Pyrmont the NDR transmitted live the World Cup of the Professionals Latin. 24 couples from 14 nations had been travelling half the world in parts to take part in this competition. Not much after midnight the winner was announced: Vitali Panteleev/Angelina Nechkhaeva from Russia won the championships in front of Juri Kagan/Anastasia Selivanova from Estland. The bronze medal went to Saverio Loria/Zeudi Zanetti, who represented Italy, in front of their compatriots Daniele Sargenti/Uliana Fomenko. The long journey from China had been worth it for Hou Yao/Zhuang Ting, who were happy about their participation in the final and the 5th place. Very happy were as well Marius Iepure/Otlile Mabuse from Nuremberg, who could reach the final of a World Cup for the first time in their still young professional career.
