Some Changes | More of The Same

Standing for Waltz

Continuity was guaranteed in as far as the projection of scores and results was also impossible today, during part of the last round of the 2016 GrandSlam Final Standard here in Shanghai. This time it wasn't the network switch, it was the entire LED screen that failed to work. The effect, however, was pretty much the same: dancers and audience didn't have any idea as to their scores and results after the third dance. The problem wasn't resolved. But it was successfully patched by bringing a 21-inch monitor to the floor for the couples in the Kiss & Cry area to react to their scores.

The changes: Simone Segatori and Annette Sudol, GER, kept the upper hand in their ongoing duel against Dmitry Zharkov and Olga Kulikova, RUS. It started with the first dance: the Germans scored eight decimal points higher than the Russians ... And after the points of all five dances were tallied up, Simone and Annette were ahead by 2.3 points. "It was not our day," is how Dmitry and Olga commented their second place.
