Armen and Svetlana

15 April - Cambrils, ESP

Armen Tsaturyan and Svetlana Gudyno, RUS, were crowned European Champions for the second time in their career. After winning the 2015 European Latin in Aarhus, DEN, they surprised many by narrowly defeating their direct opponents - and possibly considered the favourites - for the 2017 title, Gabriele Goffredo and Anna Matus, MDA, in a dramatic final. In fact, it required scores of 39 points and more in the Paso Doble and in the Jive to come from behind and stage the upset by nine decimal points.

Since their third place in the 2015 GrandSlam Latin Stuttgart, which was won by the Russians too, the Moldovans remained undefeated in two World and one European Championships and altogether eight successive GrandSlams. Armen and Svetlana, on the other hand, had to content themsleves with two victories in GrandSlams - Moscow 2015 and Platja d'Aro 2016 - where Gabriele and Anna did not dance.
