The 2011 GrandSlam Finals

The Grand Slam That Was Not Danced 25/11/2011

11 March 2011 If one of the 2011 Grand Slam legs needs to get singled out in this blog, it must be the one in Tokyo that was never danced. Nearly all the couples who will be present in Salou had flown to Japan and were in or around the capital when disaster struck on 11 March at 14:46 JST. After nature unleashed its most devastating forces and victimised the people of Japan, sports had suddenly lost all importance.

Immediately following the quake and tsunami, and in face of the mounting threats of a nuclear catastrophe, the DanceSport community expressed its solidarity with the people in Japan through donations. 

Ahead of the 2011 Finals, WDSF encourages everyone following this blog to make another donation to the ongoing relief efforts by the Japan Red Cross Society through the Google Crisis Response.

It was a long journey for all 24 couples who have qualified for the 2011 Grand Slam Finals. The 2011 Series took them from the Danish capital in February to the Spanish Costa Dorada in December – and to two, three or even four other destinations in between. The frequent flyer miles accrued by the 48 athletes competing in the Finals should qualify them for an upgrade on their flights back from Barcelona. At least!
