As the picture on the left shows impressively, they were very much running on empty by the time they crossed the French-Spanish border at La Jonquera.

The second programme offered by WDSF through the new fee-based on-demand service DanceSport Total Plus will be available from 18:00 UTC/GMT today. Here is THE FINAL TRAILER ...
Two years ago, Andrey Zaytsev won the GrandSlam in Stuttgart together with former partner Anna Kuzminskaya. In 2014 he returns to the floor at the Beethoven Hall with his new partner Elizaveta Cherevichnaya – and as a rookie professional.
In the WDSF PD Super GrandPrix Latin he goes up against 59 couples. Among them are Martino Zanibellato and Michelle Abildtrup, the current PD World Champions. Even though the two had never beaten Andrey prior to turning professional last year, they are the favourites here and now. Are they really?
An 84-minute programme of the semi-final and final of the 2014 WDSF PD Super GrandPrix Latin is available exclusively through DanceSport Total Plus. On demand at US$ 2.95!
Saturday is GrandSlam Standard day and the organisers have sold out all tickets for the Beethoven Hall a few weeks back. There is a reason for that! For the last years Germany always had very competitive couples in this particular competition. Benedetto Ferruggia - Claudia Koehler won it five times. Now it's up to their heirs apparent, Simone Segatori and Annette Sudol, to try to esnure that the black-red-gold flag is raised and the German anthem played during the awards presentation.
Watch coverage on the early rounds on our YouTube channel DanceSport Total.
Watch the final live on air or through the stream of the host broadcaster SWR.
Then watch the full-length semi-final and final (plus much more) through our on-demand service on Vimeo.

Our website was down for several hours last night. This has led to the full GrandSlam results not yet being available. We look to remedy that right way.

The objective of the recent Adjudicators' Congress here in Stuttgart was to "calibrate" the way the scale is applied properly between 6 and 10. Some of the adjudicators on tonight's panel attended. Will they, as was suggested, award fewer 10s than we have seen in the first two legs of the GrandSlam? Or will we see more perfect dancing by the finalists? We will soon find out!
This was the second meeting that was scheduled during the German Championships. Topics were the Judging System 2.1 and the Competition Rules. - all covered in a very casual roundtable discussion.
Round 2 Jive: the two couples fighting it out for the win in yesterday's PD Super GrandPrix Latin met in one corner of the floor: Zanibellato vs. Zaytsev ... And eventually Evgeny Stepanov - Alexandra Pakhmutova, RUS, who ended up in third, joined in the action too.
The 2014 WDSF PD Super GrandPrix Latin lived up to everyone's high expectations - and then some ... In the end, Martino Zanibellato and Michelle Abildtrup, DEN, were the deserving winners - but only by a margin of less than one point. In the last two dances the Danes and runners-up Andrey Zaytsev - Elizaveta Cherevichnaya, RUS, were tied for first.
More videos of rounds one and two of the WDSF PD Super GrandPrix Latin are found at DanceSport Total (YouTube). The full-length semi-final and final will be available from Sunday 16 August through DanceSport Total plus (Vimeo).
