2016 WDSF GrandSlam Standard Wuhan

Sep 17, 2018

The GrandSlam Standard Wuhan produced quite a few surprises in last year’s edition. Even though the same six couples as usual danced in the final round, the outcome left quite a few experts wondering. Evaldas Sodeika - Ieva Zukauskaite, LTU, ended up in sixth place against all prognosis and after five consecutive podium finishes. Usually finishing higher in the standing than their fellow countrymen Vaidotas Lacitis - Veronika Golodneva, this time they were narrowly defeated. Another surprise involved Italians Francesco Galuppo and Debora Pacini, who recorded their best GrandSlam result of their career by taking third. And here many figured that the “usual” finalists had subscribed to their respective places for the entire Series. To confirm that this is not true, one only needs to look to the two dominant couples for the past two years. Dmitry Zharkov - Olga Kulikova, RUS, staged their upset after Simone Segatori - Annette Sudol, GER, had won eight consecutive GrandSlams and two Championships. Will Wuhan bring changes to established order of things this year too? A 6-camera production in High Definition covering the decisive stages of the GrandSlam Latin Wuhan. The programme is made up of four parts: the full-length semi-final, interviews with the finalists, the full-length final and interviews with the medallists. Produced by the WDSF Communications team in collaboration with the host broadcaster Hubei TV and the Chinese DanceSport Federation.
