What made this 2011 World Standard final so compelling was the parity between all six couples. Even in the semi-final, the general level of performance was such that many watching on were hard pressed to narrow the field down to six. Here are the Viennese Waltzes by the finalists who didn't make the podium.
The six finalists dance the group Viennese Waltz in the 2011 WDSF World DanceSport Championship Standard in Moscow, RUS.
Here are the three medallists with their interpretations of Doris Day's "Que sera, sera ..." in the solos.
The new World Champions in Standard lived through some very emotional moments in Moscow, RUS. Emanuel Valeri and Tania Kehlet, DEN, won their title in a sporting competition that had all the proper ingredients: the surprise, the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat ... Many say it was one of the best World Championships ever!
Kosaty Marek - Glazik Paulina, POL, dance Round 2 of the 2011 Woprld Standard in Moscow, RUS.
Zharkov Dmitry - Kulikova Olga, RUS, dance the first round of the 2011 World Standard in Moscow, RUS.
Throughout today, all emphasis was put on the live stream coming out of the Crocus Expo, the exhibition and convention centre here in Moscow. That left very limited resources and bandwith for the uploading of clips. We'll continue with that tomorrow morning.
We have a few other things planned for tomorrow as well and we call it a night. We hope you have enjoyed it. Thanks for following! Return tomorrow!
Todaro Salvatore - Yaneva Violeta, BUL, dance the first round in the 2011 World Standard in Moscow.
Galuppo Francesco - Pacini Debora, ITA, dance round 2 of the 2011 World Standard in Moscow.
Some people here in Moscow say that it was one of the tightest competitions ever. The experts felt that they would have had a very hard time to make the call, that they saw two opposing styles clash on the parquet, and that they are in agreement with the verdict of the panel of Adjudicators.
Since many more experts will likely comment over the coming days, WDSF Communications limits itself to simply publish the final standings of the Top Six!
