Today's GrandSlam Latin in Beijing had to advance all the way to the quarterfinal before an absolutely accurate starting list was finally drawn up.
Non-starters figured in all previous versions, last-minute starters were listed under wrong names, etc. You get the picture.
Now we can say with certainty, everybody who will be on the floor is also on the list. Here are the 24 couples that will dance round four, the quarterfinal in about 15' - considerably ahead of the initial schedule.
The reason for this: someone forgot that the starting time of the live broadcast of the GrandSlam Latin final on Eurosport was set months ago, in February, at 12:30 UTC/GMT. In the organisers' schedule that got changed to 13:00 UTC/GMT!
