Dr Helmut Roland has taken many photographs (and recorded much video) of yesterday's 2013 WDSF World DanceSport Championship Showdance Standard.
A first batch of pictures of the top three: Simone Segatori - Annette Sudol, GER; Valentin Lusin - Reneata Busheeva, GER; Dmitry Stoborov - Ekatarina Krysanona, RUS,
has just been added to the Gallery.
Old and new World Champions in Showdance Standard are Simone Segatori and Annette Sudol. That makes it three consecutive world titles for the couple from Stuttgart, GER. Congratulations!
Their freestyle performance in front of a capacity crowd at the Ditan Gymnasium was a touching one indeed.
WDSF Communications will upload extensive video coverage on this World Championship from Tuesday 10 September, when our team should have plenty of bandwidth from the host city of the WDSF World DanceSport Games in Kaohsiung, TPE. But we do hope to be able to post some photographs and get you full results later today.
Here are the standings of the 2013 WDSF GrandSlam Latin Beijing for the places 1 through 24. However, bear in mind that they are still unoffiicial.
Newcomers to the final, surprises on the podium, some deceptions ... Well, just a great competition!
