2016 GrandSlam STD Final | The Starting List

Vaidotas Lacitis - Veronika Golodneva, LTU © Egli

We're just over one hour away from round one of the 2016 GrandSlam Standard Final here in Shanghai. The 12 couples are brought from the hotel (great breakfast) where everybody is staying at to the nearby Luwan Stadium.

The last round of yesterday's Latin Final may have lacked some of the uncertainty over who could end up as winners - it was pretty much a runaway victory by Gabriele Goffredo - Anna Matus, MDA, who tokk a commanding lead right from the first Samba, but all of us on the Communications team think that will be different today.

Let's just think of what happened the World Championship in Aarhus, DEN, where the winning margin between Dmitry Zharkov - Olga Kulikova, RUS, and Simone Segatori - Annette Sudol, GER, was something like two decimal points. Here is the full starting list for today!
