Good news from Australia - Philip & Magdalen won gold in the National Capital Dancesport Championship.
Here is what Philip has to say...
"We are thrilled to share the good news that we won Gold in the National Capital Dancesport Championship in Canberra for the events of Masters 3 (Aged 60+) Open Standard and Open Australian New Vogue yesterday.
We arrived at 8:00 am and the competition rounds (4 rounds each style) started after 10:30 am and the Finals were danced at 8:30 pm and 10:00 pm with a couple of hours' break. All up we were at the venue for over 15 hours. Quite an exhausting day but we were really happy that we had improved our results in the Australian National Championship in December last year when we won Bronze for Open Standard and Silver for New Vogue in the same age category.
You would remember that we won Gold in Canberra in the Masters 2 (Aged 50+) for Australian New Vogue and Silver in Masters 2 Open Standard in 2012. We also won Gold in the more prestigious Australian Dancesport Championship held in Melbourne for the years 2012 and 2013. These results were achieved in 2012 and 2013 at the prime of our dancing career. Winning Gold in both styles now at the twilight years of our lives, however, is more rewarding as we are now doing it for pleasure. "
