The couple Rareș Cojoc – Andreea Matei managed to enter the legend this evening, winning the first world title in the Standard category for Romania in front of an archipelago hall, in Sibiu.
Coming in as heavy favorites after abundantly dominating the 2025 World Cup circuit, the pair were propelled to gold by an incendiary atmosphere. They won all the chapters: the Viennese waltz, the slow waltz (solo), the slow fox, the tango (solo) and the quick-step.
An important presence in the final was also Georgy Kalashnikov – Daria Grigore, who obtained the 4th place for Romania, for an evening without equal in the history of this young sport, squinted at the beginning of the 90s with Daria's parents, the first Romanian participants in a World Cup, precisely in Singapore.
They have achieved perfection
Completely isolated in training in recent weeks, as Andreea Cojoc, Rareș's wife, told, the best dancers on the planet detached themselves from sacrifice and achieved perfection in a magical evening, with the last series watched standing.
A soulful collection, an offering of the best routine they've ever done. Hardly anyone dances awake unless they're crazy. But Rareș Copjoc, yes, he is crazy working for almost 30 years in a sport that is as beautiful as it is difficult.
Andreea Matei is also crazy, passionately loving what she does, bringing to the couple candor and grace where the man in the ring comes with precision and the elegance of strength.
