The representatives of the sports dance club "Impulse" Spas Tsanov - Elena Buchkova took 27th position at the world championship in Maribor (Slovenia), held on December 10 (Saturday). In the category of seniors in standard dances, the Velingrad couple achieved the best ranking of Bulgarian representatives in this group in 15 years. Only two points did not reach the two to qualify for the next quarter-final phase of the championship, but the current ranking was also determined as "very successful" by their coach Petar Milchev. First and third place in the group were taken by the representatives of Russia, and between them a couple from Germany snuck in. With more details about the championship and the open tournament held the next day we will introduce you in the next issue.
Meanwhile, a week earlier, Tzanov - Buchkova warmed up for the World Cup with participation in the Cup "Bulgaria", where they won silver medals. A total of 12 pairs of Impulse took part in Hristo Botev Hall in the capital. In 11-year-olds, Kristian Petrov and Petya Zafirova won first place. In juniors Hristo Grchki - Diana Luchkova reached the fourth position in the standard dances, and Evgeni Popov - Gergana Kasapska became fifth in the group of young people up to 19.
