Gert Faustmann / Alexandra Kley: Winners of Senior II

On Saturday, the competition with the largest number of entries was also the number with the highest number of excused couples. Out of 142 couples of Senior II S Standard, 129 finally danced. Two of the couples who had to withdraw were also finalists the year before: last years' winners Michael and Beate Lindner (Senior III) came to watch the competition. Despite the high number of withdrawals, the number of couples was high enough to grant 12 couples an exemption from the first round. Five of these couples and one couple without exemption reached the final, which was dominated by Gert Faustmann / Alexandra Kley from the very first dance. They dropped only few 1 ^st placings, and these went from the couple from Berlin to a couple from Leipzig, René and Heike Seyboth. The third place was only decided by the last dance, which is the Viennese Waltz at Hessen tanzt. Since Wolfgang Tauscher / Susanne Scheuböck were ahead of their competitors, they finished third only one point ahead in the sum of places. Dr. Konstantin and Corina Maletz, who were the only couple without an exemption in this final, danced their first Ranking List Competition in Senior II and finished fourth.
