Michael Lindner and Beate Lindner, GER, retained the World Champion title they had won for the first time in 2014 in Madrid, ESP, and successfully defended last year in Antwerp, BEL. That's three consecutive wins in Senior III. Add to this another three World Championships that the couple had won previously in Senior II and you end up with one of the best records in all of DanceSport.
What made yesterday's championship stand out was the fact that it was the biggest ever held in any age group: 345 couples entered and danced for 16 hours until the winners were declared. Behind the Lindners in first, two Finnish couples were first and second runners-up: Jouko Leppala - Helja Leppala and Jari Redsven - Anne Redsven. The other three finalists were all Italians. Host country Italy fielded the largest contingent with well over 250 couples.
We will upload videos from the decisive stages of the biggest World Championship ever held in DanceSport after our return from Rimini, most likely tomorrow.
