WDSF Open Senior I Standard

It was a thrilling and high quality final, for which six of 143 couples were qualified. After twelve hours of competition in midsummer temperatures the Italian anthem was heard for world champions Christian and Elena Bono. They won the GOC's gold medal twice in consecutive years. Thorsten Zirm/Sonja Schwarz described their feeling about winning the silver medal with the word "amazing". They were two places better than last year. Places three to five went to Czech Republic, Italy, and Hungary. Andreas Lippok/Karin Eva Rode showed themselves very pleased with their sixth place, which they also reached last year.
