The World Games 2025 Chengdu: The Unofficial Star of the Dance Floor
The Chengdu World Games recently witnessed an unexpected viral sensation, and it wasn't an athlete. On the evening of August 8th, during the Dancesport competition, a Latvian judge captured the attention of both the audience and the internet. With his elegant posture, natural grace, and striking, almost cartoon-like proportions, he became an overnight celebrity.
The judge in question is Sergejs Sinkins, a senior Dancesport official from Latvia. A video of him observing contestants and making subtle gestures to score them quickly went viral on social media, earning him the title "a walking textbook of elegance." The clip, which has been viewed millions of times, led to comments praising his timeless charm and professionalism. As one netizen put it, "A Ferrari has arrived, and it's still a Ferrari"—highlighting his enduring magnetism.
The Man Behind the Viral Moment
Xinhua Sports' interview with Sinkins on August 10th revealed that his rise to fame was no accident. Standing at 1.91 meters tall, Sinkins began dancing at the age of seven. He possesses the refined skills of a professional dancer and has years of experience judging international competitions. During the event, his composed demeanor, clean movements, and unwavering focus made him a captivating figure—like a lead dancer frozen in a perfect pose. This blend of professionalism and natural presence instantly captivated viewers.
Why did a judge attract so much attention?
Sergejs Sinkins, born in 1970, is a highly respected Dancesport judge based in Düsseldorf, Germany. He is an international A-class all-round judge affiliated with the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF). After a career as a professional dancer, he transitioned into judging and coaching. Since 2010, he has been a prominent figure in international Latin dance competitions.
Interestingly, Sinkins was completely open about his newfound fame. He expressed surprise and gratitude, telling the media, "I was just doing my job as a judge and never expected that my elegant movements could bring such a beautiful feeling to others." He believes the secret to his grace lies in integrating dance into his daily life. Years of continuous training have made elegant postures second nature, while a calm mindset and genuine interactions with family and friends have naturally refined his demeanor.
