It’s not over until it’s over!

It was a long night but it just showed everyone the best aspect of sport – unpredictability.

After Standard round of the final Daniil Ulanov and Kateryna Isakovych from Cyprus had a lead of 13,25 points over the Estonians Konstantin Gorodilov – Dominika Bergmannova. It seemed like a clear case! But with their strong and determined Latin round the Estonians proved it is not over until it’s over and took home the title with a margin of 1,48 points. What an amazing Latin final they had!

Another couple having a strong Latin round was the Canadians Winson Tam and Anastasia Novikova, who reached the podium and received bronze medals starting from 3,71 points chase after Standard and finishing with 7,08 points lead over Russians Evgeny Sveridonov and Angelina Barkova. The Russian couple was fourth, David Odstrcil and Tara Bohak from Czech Republic fifth, and the Polish couple, the clear favourites of the home crowd, Armand Fazullin and Klaudia Iwanska ranked sixth.

It was certainly one of those nights to remember. The 2018 World Championship Ten Dance turned out to be a true example of endurance, style, grace and precision. That is what DanceSport is all about!
