The 2014 GrandSlam Latin Tallinn is about to get underway with the first round scheduled in 30 minutes. 53 couples take to the floor. Among them quite a few from Asia. Three starters from Hong Kong, one each from Singapore and Kyrgistan.
From yesterday's GrandSlam Standard we have finally been able to upload all the 40+ videos to the WDSF YouTube channel DanceSport Total ("Recent Videos").
For the time being there are some without proper labelling. All will get posted on this blog eventually.
A full starting list for today's Latin will be online shortly.

It was a great GrandSlam Standard final that concluded rather late last night. The schedule of the entire competition had to be altered to allow for adjudicators and couples to make it to the Estonian capital after a strike in Frankfurt had left them stranded overnight.
The deserving winners of the first GrandSlam Standard leg of 2014 were Dmitry Zharkov and Olga Kulikova, RUS, who had themselves another magic night by connecting well with the public at the Audentes Sports Hall. Nikolay Darin - Natalia Seredina, MDA, were the runners-up, making their first career podium. The same goes for the third-placed couple Evaldas Sodeika / Ieva Zukauskaite, LTU.
Remarkable is the fact that less than three points separate the second from the fifth couple in the standing.
For reasons beyond our control we cannot provide the individual results for the quarterfinal, semi-final and final with all the depth you came to appreciate until later. We thank you for your understanding.

I prefer foxtrot to be continuous and flowing.
For me this had too much stop and start and sharp movements.
