Results from Antwerp, day 1
As federal Sports Director Michael Eichert reports, many couples
did not arrive at the tournament at all or arrived just a few
minutes before the beginning of the competitions due to the chaotic
weather conditions.
The first successful German couples were Markus Ziebegk/Jenny
Müller (3.) and Alex Gerlein/Alexandra Elert (6.) in the WDSF Open
Rising Star Standard tournament. Bardahan/Anastasia Bodnar
celebrated a "sensational victory" at the WDSF Open Rising Star
Latin tournament.
Two DTV-couples reached a place on the podium at the WDSF
Senior I Standard tournament: Heinz-Josef and Aurelia Bickers won 3
dances, thus prevailing against Palat/Palatova from the Czech
Republic. Bernd and Sandra Ketturkat finished third. Three more
German couples reached the semi final consisting of 15 couples:
Patrick and Sabrina van der Meer (8.), Oliver Wöstenfeld/Martina
Bruhns (12.) and Gert Faustmann/Alexandra Kley (13./14.).
Wilfried and Annette Seidel (4.) as well as Dieter
Keppeler/Manuela Schraut-Keppeler (5.) reached the final of the
