The Austrian Championships in Combination were held… |

…and again, Sirets’ couples reached top results!

In Straßwalchen, on the beatiful countryside of Salzburg, this years Austrian Championships in the probably most difficult discipline, the combination, were held. Sirets couples danced in five different classes and showed their skills in Standard as well as in Latin American dances. Beside the international judges, the watchful eyes of ÖTSV media team member and WDSF adjudicator Heidi Götz and Estonian Standard dancer Kristy Puusepp were impressed by the beautiful performances.

At first, Senior II and III S-class as well as Allg. Klasse 8 dances were held. In Senior II S-class, Werner & Michaela Baumann reached the podium with a third place. Christian Pilz & Michaela Stadler also showed very strong dancing and finally ranked 5th. In Senior III S-class, four couples coached by Siret gave their best. Bernhard & Rita Lippa sadly did not reach the final, however, with Wolfgang & Martina Frey on 6th place, Hans Mistelberger & Gertrude Kopp on 3rd place and Herbert & Ursula Klingler on 2nd place, great results were reached. Another top final result was reached by Severin Huemer-Kals & Anja Lena Gruber in Allg. Klasse 8 dances with a 4th place, just missing the podium.

Lastly, in the highest class Allg. Klasse S Combination, Andrii Kamyshnyi & Karina Shpakovskaya showed their very best. A thrilling battle for first place was shown the many spectators in Straßwalchen. Finally, Andrii & Karina ranked 2nd and had to leave the win in the hands of the defending champions.

Gratulations to all couples!
