Dutch Open Gold Medal 2013
Paula Moulton and Gary Lyness swept to victory on Easter Sunday at the Dutch Open when they won the Amateur Latin title. They also won a Silver Medal in Ballroom the previous day just being pipped to the post by Poland.
It was a fantastic competition and the couple’s third year competing at the Dutch Open. It is the largest wheelchair dance competition of its kind in the world.
Gary said, “It’s very exciting, but daunting to be entering the World Class arena after such a short time, but it is testament to our dedication”.
“We were thrilled to get silver in Ballroom as a great improvement on last year,” said Paula.
With the third win in a row in Amateur Latin they are now set to become the UK’s first Top level competing couple in Latin Wheelchair Dancesport!
Next Competition
Our next competition is closer to home when we compete in an International Wheelchair Dancesport competition held in the UK. The Manchester Grand Prix Wheelchair Dancesport Championship will take place on Sunday 30th June at the Wythenshawe Forum. The city plays host to competitors from at least 10 European nations. Spectators will be able to see the world’s best Wheelchair Dancesport champions in action.
