Bianca Sterly & Sebastian Hagemann topped the tab after seven premliminary rounds with a record breaking 18 out of 21 possible points. Poised to make it to the final they unfortunately came short of that goal as they were hold back in the quarter finals.
Assen Kochev & Tillman Schrammel pushed it one step further as they made it to the semifinals before their run ended just short of the very last round.
