World Games 2013 in Cali

The bullfighting arena in Cali, filled with 13.000 enthusiastic spectators, was a more than impressive setting for the World Games 2013.
Three couples from the German Squad represented the German Dancesport Association and reached very good results:

Sergey and Viktoria Tatarenko nearly missed out on the bronze medal in the Latin tournament and finished fourth.
Periklis and Maria Kalaitzis were very happy to reach the semi final of the Salsa tournament with their show.
Eventually, Bendetto Ferruggia and Claudia Köhler dominated the Standard tournament and won the gold medal.

Congratulations to these phenomenal results and see you all at the World Games 2017 in Wroclaw, Poland.
