WDSF Open Youth Latin

Begin was at 9.30 a.m. in the Reithalle, the award ceremony was at 11 p.m. at the Beethovensaal. The six participating couples of the final had to dance six rounds in the international competition to reach the final. In the last round the win went clearly to danceComp-winners Semen Khrzhanovskiy/Elizaveta Lykhina, who rarely had to give over an open competition since then. With this result they outpaced acting world champions in Youth Denis Gudovsky/Megiya Dana Morite, who already had to make due with second place at the GOC last year. Places three and four went to Russia and Romania.

Real chants were produced for Alin-Andrei Beca/Michelle Nazarenus, who achieved a little sensation: they won against the acting German champion and reached fifth place before Daniil Porcesco-Gozun/Anastasia Grunzu with a confident performance.
