Junior II combination: the ten dance competition started with an extra shift.

While the 10th and last round of waltz was danced several judges were already gesticulating with their digital devices. There were technical problems occuring, which could only be solved partially. A digital device wasn't willing to transmit the judging. Therefore the rounds had to be repeated. After this the competiton went ahead without further delay. Even the lateness through this problem could be made up.

The cast of the combination competition was first class: five finalists of the world championship from April were taking part. World champions Yaroslav Kiselev/Sofia Philipchuk won without much surprise in all dances. Danila Boriskin/Elizaveta Ulianova became second before runner-up of the world championship George Razvan Batranu/Ana Maria Dica.
