Lindners confidently new champions

95 couples in the Senior III S class in the Boston-Club in Düsseldorf is a number this age class can be proud of, competition director Dagmar Stockhausen said. With almost 130 registered couples for this competition in the beginning this is a very big starting field considering the last ten years. The seniors showed their performance after a relatively late competition start over six rounds on Halloween. Michael and Beate Lindner were on the course to the victory right from the very start and were rewarded with all ones in the end. In addition, they secured themselves two cups for the 1rst place: the one from the DTV and one that was sponsored by the hosting club. Thereby they sent the last year's winners to place 2. Bernd and Monika Kiefer danced souvereignly to the 2nd place, just before Alexander Hick/Petra-Alexandra Leßmann. Also new were Hans and Petra Sieling with the 4th place, who showed their dancing level right from the beginning as well. Wolfgang Walter and Ilse von Beyer, who finished last year with the 3rd place, finished 6th in this year's final, as Oliver Luthardt/Anne Hinz danced into the final to the 5th place for the first time.
