The second day of the GrandSlam Hong Kong brought five rounds of top-level Standard dancing to the Queen Elizabeth Stadium. 62 couples entered. Dmitry Zharkov - Olga Kulikova, RUS, had won the first GrandSlam leg of the year in Tallinn, EST. But their long-time opponents Simone Segatori - Annette Sudol, GER, were not there. So Hong Kong was the first encounter between two couples seeking to become the successors of Emanuel Valeri and Tania Kehlet, DEN, who turned professional immediately after the European Championship in Aarhus, DEN.
