Months of pre­pa­ra­ti­on, num­e­rous hel­ping hands and a lot of pas­si­on — all of this was in the Ger­man Cham­pi­on­ship Mas­ters II S Stan­dard, which we will hold on 14 June 2025 in Frank­furt (Oder) were allo­wed to orga­ni­ze. The Frank­furt (Oder) exhi­bi­ti­on hall sho­ne in the sple­ndour of black, red and gold – deco­ra­ted with matching and loving table deco­ra­ti­ons, Ger­man flags and the flags of the fede­ral sta­tes. Thus, it pro­vi­ded the per­fect set­ting for the mee­ting of the best Mas­ters II S stan­dard cou­ples from all over Germany.

An equal­ly Tho­ralf Böli­cke pro­vi­ded a wort­hy and enter­tai­ning start to the tour­na­ment with his yel­low micro­pho­ne. With charm, con­fi­dence and the right amount of humor He led the audi­ence through the pro­gram items at the begin­ning and end of the event. He also hos­ted the show acts in his usu­al excel­lent manner. 

After the ope­ning by the 1. TSC Frank­furt (Oder) the time had come for the stars of the after­noon. The 34 cou­ples, among them our local heroes Mar­tin Lutz and Katar­zy­na Rybins­ka, ope­ned the tour­na­ment under the direc­tion of tour­na­ment direc­tor Tho­mas Weh­lingRight from the start, the cou­ples for a first high­light through the rou­sing ent­ry cho­reo­gra­phyThe num­ber 1 was of cour­se allo­wed to go first and was appro­pria­te­ly worn by Mar­tin and Kasia! After this pre­sen­ta­ti­on and the indi­vi­du­al pre­sen­ta­ti­on, the 1. Preli­mi­na­ry round in six groups per dance. Our two danced con­fi­dent­ly and ele­gant­ly into the next round in tail­coats and red dresses.

The brea­ther was fil­led our youth cou­ples: Lil­ly and Lukas, Fabri­ce and Chan­tal and Mak­sym and Eve­li­na show­ed their skills in sam­ba, cha cha cha, rum­ba and jive. Thank you for your gre­at per­for­mance — this cap­ti­va­ted the audi­ence as much as the professionals.

This was fol­lo­wed prompt­ly by the 1st inter­me­dia­te round, in which the 24 remai­ning cou­ples gave their best. Also Mar­tin and Kasia impres­sed the jud­ges once again and advan­ced to the semifinals.

But the sup­port­ing pro­gram was of cour­se far from exhaus­ted: This time the Show bal­let by Fire & Fla­me from Eisen­hüt­ten­stadt for a fresh atmo­sphe­re — with a sophisti­ca­ted hip-hop performance.

After­wards the dance flo­or beca­me the venue for the 12 best cou­ples, among them of cour­se Mar­tin and Kasia — now in a bright white dressAfter the last quick­step it beca­me exci­ting – the final places were announ­ced. Tho­mas Weh­ling increased the exci­te­ment by announ­cing the fina­lists in ran­dom orderAfter the announce­ment of the first five fina­lists, Mar­tin and Kasia weren’t cal­led yet. But then—the reli­ef after­wards: The Frank­furt cou­ple was also allo­wed to dance for the medals after­wardsthe audi­ence went wild.

Befo­re the The show bal­let and the cheer­lea­ders of the Red Cocks hea­ted up the decisi­ve fina­le The audi­ence con­tin­ued to be enthu­si­a­stic. The enthu­si­asm car­ri­ed the cou­ples along, as did the chee­ring from the fans — This was par­ti­cu­lar­ly noti­ceable with Mar­tin and Kasia, who lit up the dance flo­or with their performance.

Final­ly, the decisi­ve moment came: the award cerem­o­ny. Our cou­ple Mar­tin Lutz and Katar­zy­na Rybins­ka was alre­a­dy get­ting rea­dy to go on the flo­or, but sixth and fifth place did not go to her. But then they rea­ched 4th place to gre­at applause. 

Pho­to: René Bolcz

And that’s not all: Mar­tin also cele­bra­ted his 50th bir­th­day. This is an occa­si­on for us to con­gra­tu­la­te him and honor him for his achie­ve­ments, suc­ces­ses, and com­mit­ment. — Con­gra­tu­la­ti­ons and thank you for your deca­des of com­mit­ment to 1. TSC Frank­furt (Oder).
