32 Youth couples started their journey towards the European Title on Saturday afternoon in Bratislava (SVK). Vladislav Untu – Polina Baryshnikova (MDA) started the competition as the reigning Champions – and by the end of the day, they returned to the highest step of the podium.

The Champions are dancing their last year in Youth, and they are planning to leave the age group with six titles; the couple is aiming to win all the three European Championships and all the three World Championships this year, leaving a mark in the history books, and ”to make an example to all kids, that it is possible,” like Vladislav said. Having won the European Latin in April and European Ten Dance yesterday, the couple is heading strongly towards their goal.

Yaroslav Kiselev – Sofia Philipchuk (RUS) ranked second and won the silver medals. The couple has entered the Youth age group this year and they have already won silver in World U21 Ten Dance in May. They are the World Champions in Junior II Standard, Latin and Ten Dance in 2018.

Jakub Bruck – Marina Makarenko (CZE) won the bronze, taking home the first medals for the couple and both dancers in title events. The couple has been dancing together less than a year, and they ranked 14th at the European Championship Youth Latin in April.

 Final result:

1. Vladislav Untu – Polina Baryshnikova (MDA)
2. Yaroslav Kiselev – Sofia Philipchuk (RUS)
3. Jakub Bruck – Marina Makarenko (CZE)
4. Patrik Buda - Silvia Budova (SVK)
5. Tim Grabenwoeger - Cremar Natalie (AUT)
6. Nunzio Stancampiano - Teresa Castelli (ITA)

Congratulations!
