Such a high level athletes enchanted Cali with their performances in the Junior and Senior Pairs competitions.

Without any doubt, the level reached today was unforeseen in both categories and confirmed Italy as the leading Nation in the discipline.
In the Junior competition, the two Italian pairs, Peruch/Genchi and Torre/Aggio, challenged each others for the first position in the ranking, whilst the host pair - Panero Romeno/Vaquero Pajeres - with a good performace, got the third placement.
In the Senior category, it was just an Italian affair: in the Long Programme, the defending Champions Marco Garelli and Elena Lago should try to recoup over Luca Lucaroni and Rebecca Tarlazzi who performed today without any uncertainty or flaw. A very good level performance let Matteo Rizzo and Sharon Giannini gain the third placement.

Tomorrow the competitions will start with the Final Groups of the Junior Ladies Long Programme at 4.30 pm, followed by the Junior Men. Then it will be the turn of the Pairs and their Long Programmes. The schedule will end with the first Group competition: The Precision Groups.
All the competitions will be live covered on FIRS Tv.
