Our webmaster and his online designer are working very hard behind this blog to be able to roll out a completely revamped website by this weekend. The launch coincides with the General Meeting that is currently in progress in Rome, ITA.

Close to 100 videos and 500+ photos should have told the entire story about last weekend's GrandSlam in Hong Kong.

Leaving Hong Kong 06 June 2016 10:28

Last night's final of the 2016 GrandSlam Standard Hong Kong will be talked about for some time to come. As suspenseful as a round can get, it produced a total of four 10s going up as component scores for the two couples that have dominated Standard over the past two years: Simone Segatori - Annettee Sudol, GER, and Dmitry Zharkov - Olga Kulikova, RUS.

The relief of Simone and Annette to finally have made it back to the highest echelon of the podium was considerable - and the grace of Dmitry and Olga in accepting the role as first runners-up was astounding.

You will be able to watch all of it in the 2016 GrandSlam Standard Hong Kong programme that will become available through Vimeo non Demand.

The 6 (!) star couples with an exemption from starting the day early have joined the action for round 2 at the MacPherson. Participation in this third GrandSlam leg of the 2016 Series is only 49 couples total. In Standard, too, we have a significant drop of nearly 20 couples from 2015. Particularly the couples from Asia have failed to enter. We have provided an explanation for this already.

Crowned World Champions were Timo Lindfors - Ekaterina Krutovskaya-Kauppinen, FIN, in the Senior II Latin. They prevailed against 76 other couples that danced in the World Senior II Latin at Kosice, SVK. The World Junior II Standard also concluded in Timisoara, ROU. However, results are not yet available. Dan Marina, a regular contributor, has sent us a group photograph of the finalists. So if you recognise the faces you'll get at the order of placing for the first six.

We kindly ask the organisers to upload full results ASAP. The community is asking for them. Thanks!
