Here are the videos of the semi-final and final rounds taken by Gaby Michel-Schuck. It was her first time taking videos from an special event with all the difficulties for a camera operator ... fighting with an unknown camera, with couples, adjudicators and visitors to get a suitable place to take goods shots and so on. Gaby Michel-Schuck did a really good job. Thank you, Gaby !!!
