Simone Segatori and Annette Sudol, GER, won their first World Champion title in Vienna, AUT, in November 2014. Afterwards the German couple was able to embark on year-long run, winning one GrandSlam after another, claiming the European title, being the ones to dominate - and being completely at the top of their game ... Until December last year in Vilnius, LTU, when they came in as runners-up to Dmitry Zharkov and Olga Kulikova, RUS, the new and current World Champions. While that first upset had come as a surprise to some, the Russians put it into perspective by getting onto a winning streak afterwards. That lasted for six months, until the 2016 GrandSlam Hong Kong, when Simone and Annette defeated Dmitry and Olga by a narrow margin in a memorable final.
That was at the end of June! Since then the two couples have gone their separate ways, never coinciding in a GrandSlam - but each winning one. That brings us to Aarhus, DEN, and the 2016 World Champioship that is danced on 12 November at the Ceres Arena. Who will walk away as a double world champion? Or could it be that the time of Evaldas Sodeika - Ieva Zukauskaite, LTU, has come already?
