Really great! Love their style and pashion. Natascha is the best lady for a long period of time and Domen is so elegant and flowing!

Beautiful dancing

The best part of this dance was the first 40 seconds. At times it was beautiful and flowing. As a whole I wish the performance would have been better.

It is a pain to see this average couple to be world champion. That means, there is no one better that this. Cough cough!! If all judges were to be amnesic during the competitions while judging (forgetting who is who), this same couple would just be unknown. If you want a real champion, here we are: Hilton, Gozzoli, Baricchi, Soale, Segatori (thrown away by the wdc), Valeri, Pino. Also, for a World Championsip, I think it is one of the only sport where this competition means nothing, with almost nobody participating with few people in the audience. No one even wants to come in. Maybe, there are some problems. Maybe organization.

The "problem" you talk about is Covid-19! So so audience and less couples from not-europe. But all in all, the new champions would be at the podium all the way

What an impudence and arrogance to speak of "pain". No one but a world champion himself would be entitled to such a statement. Obviously, you don't recognize the quality of this couple or the quality only seems unspectacular to you in your perception, since the two have been present in the finals for so long. Soale, Segatori, Valeri, Pino were unfortunately only ingenious in parts and still showed weaknesses especially in body structure and body position, which are no longer shown by many couples today. That's why they were never professinal world champions. They would have no chance against Domen and Natasha in a direct comparison.

In pure technical terms they are top imho and all respect, but i agree there is something deep along the line missing. I can imagine people call it a bit boring. It is a bit generic/safe style they have. We see in general on one hand mind blowing correct dancing, on the other hand we miss individuality in that same dancing. That is what the commenter above is pointing out. Hilton, Barrichi, etc. were distinctive and had almost forcing charisma. About generic, this applies for WDC amateurs as well at some extent. In the quite recent past there were couples like Löwe, to name someone. Wich were easy to spot on the floor. Maybe it is safe to say no one takes a bit of a risk anymore. Look at the video of presentation of UK 2010 with Valeri etc. Altough some of them already chose basics for intro -wich in itself isn't bad,-don't get me wrong, they were still distinctive in style in the full routines. After that year political stuff, bans and alike things got into play. Wich had some impact. Take a look at Dragovic, much more interesting (style). They took quite a bit of a leap in a short time, maybe dangerous outsiders for Krapez.
