EYE OF JUDGEMENT
Each competitor has two minutes to show off
their routine to the judges, who are looking
for accuracy and artistic flair among other
things. Donatas led the field throughout the
competition, and in his final heat, the fourth of
four, he knew he had done enough to win. His
routine was beautiful, artistic and entertaining
all in the same breath. “That’s a whopping
84 points for artistic quality, and rightly so,”
boomed the commentator.

Peter Uhlig and Esa Eirola.
