2015 WDSF GrandSlam Latin Stuttgart
Stuttgart is traditionally the biggest GrandSlam of the Latin Series and the 2015 edition won't change that. 371 couples are on the preliminary starting list – and that with some time to go until the entry deadline. Even if some should fail to show up for the first round at 8 a.m. on 13 August, we could have us another record participation. Just for reference: 345 couples danced in 2013, 333 in 2014. All the top-ranked couples will be present! Moldovans Gabriele Goffredo and Anna Matus, who are currently first in the GrandSlam Ranking, are looking for their third successive win after Wuhan and Hong Kong. But reigning European Champions Armen Tsaturyan and Svetlana Gudyno, RUS, who hold the number one position in the combined World Ranking, should have their say in the matter too. As do the other four couples who also danced the final rounds in Wuhan and Hong Kong: Charles-Guillaume Schmitt - Elena Salikhova, FRA, Marius-Andrei Balan - Khrystyna Moshenska, GER, Timur Imametdinov - Nina Bezzubova, GER, and Yury Simachev - Anastasia Klokotova, RUS. Making it to the final and from there onto the podium is probably harder in Stuttgart than at any of the other GrandSlam locations. Even if the finalists generally don't dance until round three, they will have to dance six full rounds before a winner is declared. And the competition is tougher here than elsewhere. Who would want to miss Stuttgart? A 6-camera production with full graphics plus interviews with the protagonists! The programme is made up of four parts: the full-length semi-final (1 · no commentary), interviews with some of the finalists (2), the full-length final (3 · no commentary), the interviews with the medallist couples (4). © 2015 World DanceSport Federation - WDSF | All Rights Reserved Produced by the WDSF Communications team in collaboration with the host broadcaster and the German DanceSport Federation - DTV.
