WDSF Open Youth Standard – Tournament victory goes to Kazakhstan
Although the starting field of 27 couples was quite small, it took four rounds to determine the real tournament winners with Neidas Lenkaitis and Tamara Belenkaya from Kazakhstan. They won all five dances, albeit with mixed scores. Second place went to Artur Vlasenko and Ivelina Karcheva from Bulgaria, who were only in third place in the Quickstep. Dmytrii Forostianov and Helene Novalee Tilgert (Grün-Gold-Club Bremen) were able to take this from them, but had to defend themselves against their pursuers Raigardas Gedvilas and Ugne Makarskaite from Lithuania, who were only one place behind them, thanks to fourth place in the Viennese Waltz and fifth place in the Slowfox. Another Lithuanian couple, Kristupas Mlinskas and Liepa Rudnickaite, followed in fifth place. The final was completed by Daniil Rybak and Xenia Kashcheev (Tanzsport Zentrum Heusenstamm).
