Andrey Zaytsev – Anna Kuzminskaya from Russian Federation win the European Championship Latin. Congratulations!
Aniello Langella – Khrystyna Moshenska from Italy, who became the World Champions Latin in Vienna last November, achieved runners-up position. The two favourite couples in latin dancing changed the places. Andrey and Anna won Rumba, Paso Doble and Jive while Aniello and Khrystyna achieved 1st places in Samba and Cha Cha Cha. The final score was 7 points for the winner and 8 points for the runners up couple.
This major event took place in Krasnodar / Russia six days after the Grand Slam Latin in Cambrils / Spain. Aniello and Khrystyna had won this Grand Slam Latin competition against Andrey Kiselev – Anastasia Balaeva from Russian Federation. Andrey Zaytsev – Anna Kuzminskaya had not started in Cambrils.
So we are looking forward the next fight between the two couples which may take place in Hongkong during the next Grand Slam Latin.
Gabriele Goffredo – Anna Matus from Moldova achieved 3rd place ahead of Marius-Andrei Balan – Nina Bezzubova from Germany, who attained 4th place.
Unfortunately, some participants flying via Vienna to Krasnodar did not get their suitcases in time. Around 50 suitcases were missing at the end and where delivered one day later! Aniello and Khrystyna where among the couples, who did not get their suitcases. Carlos Freitag, President of WDSF, had the same problem. He was waiting for this suit for the opening ceremony.
