Two top Swiss couples in the Standard Main Category are steadily climbing up the WDSF World Ranking List: Davide Corrodi/Maya Kucharczyk from the TSCZ are now within touching distance of the Top 50 thanks to numerous foreign starts and good placings. If they break this "sound barrier", they will have the advantage at major tournaments that they will only have to dance from the second round onwards, which guarantees better rankings and more world ranking points in advance. Vova Kasilov/Yulia Dreier, the current Swiss champions, have also improved in 2022 and are ranked 84th in mid-May. For the two best Swiss standard couples, the European Championships in Bucharest on 28 May will be another measuring point for where they stand in the international comparison.
Five other Swiss couples have a WDSF ranking in the Top 100 as of mid-May. In the Senior II category, the Latin couple Frank and Wibke Sudholt stand out with 5th place, while in the Senior III category, the Standard Champions Jürg Briner/Katharina Egli shine in a field of 546 couples with 16th place.
