The GrandSlam Latin Series 2017 concluded with the “Showdown in Shanghai,” the invitational Final danced at the Luwan Stadium in early December. It was marked by a huge surprise: the absence of the Series’ dominators – Gabriele Goffredo and Anna Matus, MDA. The couple had won every single leg but decided not to contest the last title in play for 2017. Instead, they announced that they would continue their careers in the Professional Division.
They decided to dance their first PD competition during the Finnish Open in Helsinki, something which should give them the opportunity to watch who will become the heirs to their throne. Armen Tsaturyan - Svetlana Gudyno, Marius-Andrei Balan - Khrystyna Moshenska, Timur Imametdinov - Nina Bezzubova or any of the other couples.
