The DanceSport couple booked their ticket to The World Games 2022 in Birmingham, Alabama at the WDSF The World Games Continental Qualifier for Europe for the Latin discipline.
Their success in Fene (Spain) gives them the chance to dig for gold at the TWG for the third time, after they became The World Games Champions in Cali 2013 (Columbia) and Wroclaw 2017 (Poland). Their performance during the qualification made it clear that Anna Matus and Gabriele Goffredo are also among the favorites at the competition in the Legacy Arena of the Birmingham Jefferson Civic Complex on 8th July.
The couple won the qualification tournament on the 29th of January. 24 couples danced on the floor to be qualified for the 11th edition of The World Games. The two winning athletes competing for Moldova were also shortlisted for the IWGA Greatest Athlete of All Time in 2021.
Gabriele Goffredo and Anna Matus started dancing together in 2011. Together they have won 79 DanceSport events in their competitive career. Currently they hold six world championship titles: three world titles in Adults Category and three in the Professional Division.
By the way, the two dancers are not only a couple on the dance floor. They have been married since 2019 and became proud parents last year.
Congratulations to Anna and Gabriele on being named January’s Athletes of the Month, and we’re looking forward to cheering you on in the future!
