Ferruggia/Köhler win GOC Grand Slam

The couples of the Preciosa WDSF Grand Slam Standard tournament competed in the sold-out Liederhalle in Stuttgart. All dances in the final were performed as solo dances, offering the audience one hour of nonstop high-class dancesport. Benedetto Ferruggia/Claudia Köhler were ahead of their competitors Emanuel Valeri/Tania Kehlet in all five dances, sometimes more, sometimes less clearly. Both couples received equal cheers from the audience.

Simone Segatori/Annette Sudol reached the third place on the podium. The Russian ranking was changed by Zharkov/Kulikova, as they finished fourth ahead of Konovaltsevs. Moshenin/Favero from Italy complemented the final.
