With the delay at the start of the day, the showdown was also pushed back. That didn´t lessen the energy of the dancers, which simply did a great job after already a long day of waiting and dancing. This year´s showdown venue also had a huge screen on one end. As only a few contingents utilized it in a way, it benefits their performance, the main purpose of the huge screen was showing VIPs and sponsors, while taking away a lot of seats for the audience.
