They won't have to dance the first round of the GrandSlam Standard Helsinki, they are one of the "star" couples with an exemption and direct access to the second round: Simone and Annette.
We have caught up with the couple from Germany after breakfast and conducted a very long interview with them. Parts of it will go into the 56-minute highlight programme that we distribute to broadcasters worldwide. The rest of it we will make available as a free bonus feature to the Vimeo on Demand programme (here). It will be an in-depth interview that addresses some of the most controversial issues that should concern everybody who cares about DanceSport.
Here are Simone and Annette in a short YouTube interview that was recorded afterwards.
