In the afternoon, 55 couples started in the Professional Standard competition. More than half of them came from Asia.

Unfortunately, none of these couples made it to the final. Unchallenged winners of the Grand Prix were Benedetto Ferruggia/Claudia Köhler, who won their eighth GOC gold medal with this. The couple from Stuttgart was honored for their victory at the World Games two weeks ago at the award ceremony. For the first time on the silver rank were Donatas Vezelis/Lina Chatkeviciute. Third place was won by Guiseppe Longarini/Katarzyna Kapral, last year's seventh place, who with that sent their fellow countrymen on the place next to the winner's rostrum.

1. Benedetto Ferruggia/Claudia Köhler, Germany (5)
2. Donatas Vezelis/Lina Chatkeviciute, Lithuania (10)
3. Guiseppe Longarini/Katarzyna Kapral, Poland (17)
4. Andrzej Sadecki/Karina Nawrot, Poland (19)
5. Marco Camarlinghi/Martina Minasi, Italy (25)
6. Andrey Motyl/Ekaterina Kim, Russia (29)
