European Championship Adult Latin in Marseille: both German couples reach semi final
Both the German Champions Sergey and Viktoria Tatarenko from
Berlin and the runners-up Nikita Bazev/Marta Arndt from Stuttgart
appeared in top form and presented themselves in an athletic and
elegant manner in front of the approx. 4000 spectators. 68 couples
from 39 nations participated in total. Both German couples reached
the semi final without much effort. However, the hoped-for move to
the final did not happen. As Federal Sports Director Michael
Eichert said, " Some wishes simply don't come true."
The gold medal went to Zoran Plohl/Tatsiana Lahvinovich from
Croatia.
