World Standard: Ferruggia/Köhler defending silver medal

Benedetto Ferruggia/Claudia Köhler defended impressively their second place at the World Championships Standard in Vienna (Austria). The judges placed the couple in all five dances on the second place. So they won again the silver medal and could take home again the vice champion title. The second German couple Simone Segatori/Annette Sudol finished with the fifth place and therefore one place better compared to the previous year. 73 couples from 39 nations entered the competition.
