Japanese pair wins world tango title

Some stories speak for themselves:

A Japanese married couple has danced to victory in Buenos Aires, knocking the reigning Argentines out of the top spot at the World Tango Championships.

Hiroshi and Kyoko Yamao placed first in the traditional Tango Salon category of the seventh edition of the international competition at Luna Park stadium this weekend.

After earning the highest point score during Friday's semifinal, the couple was praised by the jury for the "dexterity and feeling" of their final performance Saturday evening.

Judges gave second-place honors to a pair from Colombia followed by the host Argentines in third.
