 (The Freeman) |

CEBU, Philippines – The Italians reigned supreme in Latin competition, while the Russians lorded it over the modern standard in the World DanceSport Federation  (WDSF)-sanctioned Cebu Open and 9th DanceSport sa Sugbu, which ended  late Saturday night at the Waterfront-Cebu City Hotel and Casino.

Ilya Kornev and Daria Zhukova of Russia dethroned Australians Brodie Barden and Lana Skrgic-de Fonseka in the modern standard as the Manila-based German Enriquez and Maria Danella Renee Publico settled for bronze.

In the Latin contest, the Italians had a 1-2 finish, with Laura Marras and Simone Casula’s dominant performance from the initial heat down to the final five-dance contest involving samba, chachacha, rumba, paso-doble and jive vaulting them to a golden finish. They fellow countrymen Vito Coppola and Kristina Garifullina took the silver.

Spain’s David Diaz Falcon and Mereia Balara Sancez got the bronze after edging Cebu’s hometown bets Wilbert Aunzo and Pearl Marie Caneda, whose fourth-place finish was already an achievement.

Aunzo and Caneda dropped their entry in the closed Latin battle, but Bert Kevin Diluvio and Jame Flores came to win the gold. Another Team Cebu City bet in Jeffrey Ruben Benarao and Therese Andre Quilaton bagged the silver.

Benarao and Quilaton, however, got what they missed in the Latin closed action through the adult 4-dance event.
