Actually, I said before one couple stoped competition around 2005. His name could be Yoka. I always take him as my teacher.I have his show at 1999,I watched it more than a hundred times. He is kind of small compare with his wife/partner,but he took the second place following Bryan. Now I have to say,Paul kili is better than him. If he not retire, slavik would take his place soon too. But I still very love him,because he is the first top dancer I ever saw. Do you have some news about him?

1。这周六大家最好穿黑色和白色搭配的衣服，根据当地传统。
2。建议大家午会后留下来，商量以后我们活动的地方。大家留下联系方式，一方面大家可以相互交流午艺，另个一方面，我们可以在工作。学习和生活上相互帮忙，如果一个人的身边有很多朋友，你的生活和工作一定会更有意义和开心。我们也可组织其它的活动，把这个午队成立起来！

Do you mean Jukka Haapalainen?

Jukka Haapalainen dances with Sirpa Suutari to win Blackpool many times.
2001  Jukka Haapalainen & Sirpa Suutari    Finland

  1999  Jukka Haapalainen & Sirpa Suutari    Finland
  1998  Jukka Haapalainen & Sirpa Suutari    Finland
  1997  Jukka Haapalainen & Sirpa Suutari    Finland

Jukka won Finnish Championships in Latin and 10 Dance in Junior and Youth ( Miss Hanna Kappola as his partner) and as Amateur categories (with Miss Heli Lahdensuo). His best Amateur result internationally was reaching The British Open Youth under 21 Championships Final in 1985 with Heli.

                     Sirpa was multiple Latin and 10 Dance Champion of Finland in her amateur days with Mr Timo Pukkila.

                     Sirpa skipped youth as she partnered Mr Tony Wong enjoying sudden success and going straight from being a junior champion to become a finalist in amateur Latin.
                     Timo and Sirpa were featured in the final of the 10 Dance World Cup.


Both Jukka and Sirpa were representing Finland in various international championships throughout their amateur careers.
                     Jukka and Sirpa met each other early on the dance floors competing against each other being the same age. Having finished their respective amateur careers in 1989, they teamed up and turned professional.
                     First competition together was  The British Open Professional Rising Star Latin in Blackpool 1990. They reached top 24.
                     British open 1991 British Open Rising Star Pro Latin 3rd.
                     British Open Professional Latin Grand Final 1992, 4th.
                     "In the field of Latin American Dancing we feel that the most significant achievement for us is this rise in to the Grand Final in a very short time, only two years after we started together. From there on we never looked back and went on to become the first Finns to win an Open to the world title at the British. Our victories in 1997. 1998 ,1999 and 2001 remain our most important successes. More important than the actual titles is the fact that we were able to break the stronghold of the traditionally prominent nations in our field and prove to all dancers that it is possible to become a champion without the support of a strong political nation and by only believing in your beloved form of dance and in yourself."
                     After retiring from competitions in 2002 Jukka and Sirpa have enjoyed success as touring Latin cabaret artists.

If Karina is the second in the would, who is the first?

I assume that it is Michael Malitowski & Joanna Leunis,
but I am not 100% sure.
