The Turkish organisers of the Metu Open in Ankara provide a live stream from 4 p.m. UTC/GMT on Saturday 1 November. It covers eight WDSF ranking competitions: WDSF World Open Latin, WDSF Open Standard, WDSF Youth Open Latin, WDSF Youth Open Standard, WDSF Junior Latin, WDSF Junior Standard, WDSF Juvenile Latin, and WDSF Juvenile Standard.
The player with the webcast is embedded here without WDSF assuming any responsibility for its quality.
The PD World Championship Standard concluded in Nanjing, CHN, minutes ago. Mirko Gozzoli - Edita Daniute, LTU, have been able to revalidate their title won well over a year ago in Bassano del Grappa, ITA.
First runners-up and merely 0.86 behind the old and new Professional World Champions are Benedetto Ferruggia and Claudia Köhler, GER. Emanuel Valeri and Tania Kehlet, DEN, came in third with a spread of 5.5 points.
Unfortunately, access to the Internet was extremely poor from the venue. Somewhat disappointing as this was probably not a problem a few weeks ago, when competitions of the 2014 Youth Olympic Games were held there too.
WDSF Communications team member Ferran Castanyer has been struggling to get his clips uploaded to YouTube all day. He now returns to the hotel and tries from there. There is still a considerable backlog of clips that will need to get uploaded to DanceSport Total and also posted here. Stay tuned!
