And now here is the result of the Final. To some, it may come as a surprise: Nino and Krystyna are the new European Champions Latin. Interviews and more will be uploaded later.
Nino has always been head and shoulders above Zaitsev. Nino dances latin with good rhythm and maturity while Zaitsev repeats clean movements mechanically and with overpronounced lines.
I agree-Zaitsev & Anna are too cold for me-I don't see nor feel any real passion or connection-like Yulia, Anna's movements are a touch too jerky and cold-albeit both are great dancers not my cup of tea. They seem a little aloof or something. Glad the
Italians won-they should have won at least 3-4 of past several competitions in my opinion.
please notice, Adjudicator I was from Italy ( where Nino comes from ), Adjudicator E was from Ukraine ( where Krystyna comes from ), both Adjudicators gave them only 1. place in all dances, especially in Paso-Doble, where other Adjucators saw Nino/Krystyna
on the 3./4. place !! With this system of Adjudicators that couldn't be a fair and objective competition and dancing is going to lose its attractivity !! Hopefully, it will change in future !!
