It was the last of the five regular legs that make up the 2015 WDSF GrandSlam Series. As such it was at somewhat of a disadvantage: some of the couples that had already qualified for the "Showdown in Shanghai," the GrandSlam Finals held in December, decided to skip this one. But fact is too that Moscow was still the leg with the second-highest participation, 296 couples in the Latin this year, falling only very few entries short of matching that in Stuttgart, GER. Armen Tsaturyan and Svetlana Gudyno, RUS, the current world #1 in the World Ranking Latin, obviously insistedt on dancing in front of the families and fans. So did Yury Simachev and Anastasia Klokotova, RUS, who tried to repeat their podium finish from Hong Kong. Joining them were those committed to dance in Moscow and in all five legs - even though they had their flights to China already booked already. When it comes to the Latin, that's Charles-Guillaume Schmitt - Elena Salikhova, FRA, Timur Imametdinov - Nina Bezzubova, GER. The other German couple, Marius-Andrei Balan and Khrystyna Moshenska, GER, would have still needed that fourth result, but didn't make it to Moscow ... And, as a consequence, won't be dancing the Finals. The full-length semi-final and final of the 2015 GrandSlam Latin in Moscow, RUS, danced on 24 October.
