Braunschweig defends title in Ludwigsburg

Winning the German Championships had been child's play compared to defending the title of World Champion of Standard formations. The Braunschweiger TSC had not only to deal with 14 teams from other nations, but above all with an incredibly improved German competition: Compared to the German Championships 2 weeks earlier, the 1. TC Ludwigsburg appeared completely transformed and thrilled 4,300 spectators in the sold-out MHP Arena. But the BTSC was not intimidated and defended its title with five 1's, resulting in the ninth title for the club. Ludwigsburg was placed second, which is a great success because this means that the Russian team Vera Tyumen was moved to the third place. The result of the World Championships was a clear victory of dancing over show.
