Hisense Arena in Melbourne (Australia) rewarded the six finalists
and the World Champions. 13 hours lay between the beginning of the
first round and the last dance of the final.

they showed an outstanding performance and clearly won all five
dances, thus beating Valeri/Kehlet into second place.

successfully defended the bronze medal, participating in the World
Championship Standard final for the sixth time in a row.
