Favorite victory in the Seniors II Standard, surprise in second place
At the WDSF Open for Seniors II Standard, the reigning world champions Serhii and Olha Shulha from the Netherlands impressively lived up to their favorites. They clearly won all five dances. However, the surprise came in second place. Here, the German champions and seventh-placed from last World Championship Maksim Tschernin and Diana Pierau from Munich were able to prevail in all five dances against the third-placed team from the last World Championship – Gatis Simsons and Julija Simsone from Latvia. Places four to six were only one digit apart. In the end, two Czech couples, Miroslav Serak and Martina Grosupova as well as Tomas Kalina and Simona Kalinova, placed fourth and sixth. In between, another couple from the Netherlands, Yvo Van den Bosch and Yan Yan Wong, squeezed in.
