Highlight of the third day at 13th Antwerp Stars Club was the WDSF World Championship Under 21 Standard. Evgeny Nikitin – Dana Spitsyna from Russian Federation won the title. Patrick Rucinsli – Ella Nusenbaum from Canada achieved runners-up position. 57 couples from 21 countries had come to join this year´s World Championship U 21 STD. The couples presented excellent standard dancing and we will enjoy to see them in future competitions also in adult class.

Christian Bono – Elena Bono from Italy won the competition curtly ahead of Rodrigue Vieux – Adriana Teoli from France. Both couples achieved 15 points.

So rule 11 – the number and sum of all judges in all dances – decided for Cristian and Elena from Italy to win (78 marks) ahead of Rodrigue and Adriana from France (75 marks).
