Not The Home Team

The home team didn't win - for once. As Heidi Goetz puts it, the fight for fourth place between the home team HSV Zwölfaxing, AUT, the club that organised this World Championship, and FG TSZ Aachen/TD TSC Düsseldorf RW, GER, the formation with the longest name, was extremely tight, with the Germans being luckier in the end.

As to the medal places, the two Russian formations Vera Tyumen and Duet Perm showed great choerographies packed with surprising effects, but they both failed to bring the characteristics of the Latin American dances fully across in their routines. GGC Bremen, the defending champions, improved from one round to the next and won convincingly and deservingly.

The public's favourites were the eight couples of Duet Perm. They were given the only standing ovation of the evening.
