Congrats to Katherina and partner. They finished in the top 162 couples in the Amateur RS ballroom event. 162Alex Spencer - Katherina Herink
I thought it was top 12? US came third in the pro team match, behind Italy and England. Japan was 4th. No other results are to report (at least not based on what I've seen on the festival net website...)

OMG! Andrey Begunov and Anna Demidova made the semi-final in U21 Standard! They are so awesome, and they look really young; it is great to see them getting such huge results! (They are listed right after the top 6; does that mean they would have been next into the final, or is it just based on competitor number?) No other American couple made the semi or even the quarter final in this event. There were some other Americans in what looks like it was round 2. (round of 50+ couples.) Congrats, Andrey and Anna!!! ChaChaMama
Some initial results for latin are up. It looks like Slavik and Elena, Dmitri and Karina, and Klaus and Viktoria did not dance. A bit of a let down.
Alphabetically listed at this point...sometimes the page is updated later to reflect the actual placement.
is the Am Latin result expected? to wit, (1) Stokkebroe/Stokkbroe (denmark) and (2) Manusova/Katsevman (usa)? for Pro RS latin, Christian Baerens and Kristina Staykova were the top-placing US couple (13) - Ifraimov/Goulina (5) danced for Russia. so congrats to christian/kristina.
i'm confused though- according to that, only 31 couples competed in pro latin- is that possible? also, Jonathan and Katusha aren't registered for pro standard
