WDSF Open Senior II Standard – Victory for the European champions
The last final of this year’s “Hessen tanzt” was the WDSF Open Senior II tournament. Here, the reigning European champions Tomas Rimkus and Nerija Surblyte from Lithuania clearly won all five dances. Places two to four were also awarded equally in all dances. Latvia’s Gatis Simsons and Julija Simsone took second place ahead of France’s Lionel Lepreux and Charlotte Milleville, who were followed by Petr Kiesel and Alice Pokorna from the Czech Republic. Only the two German finalists in fifth and sixth place swapped places after the slow waltz. In the end, this meant fifth place for Pascal Buchtmann and Martina Bruhns (TSA d. 1. SC Norderstedt) and sixth place for Fabian Lohauß and Simone Braunschweig (Askania – TSC Berlin).
