Performing the theme of angel and devil to the song Angel by English trip-hop group Massive Attack, Cerruti earned 88.7000 points - the second highest score throughout the competition.

She expected to achieve more, however.

"I'm not pleased with the score," Cerruti said.

"Two weeks ago in Japan I got almost 90 points.

"I know that in this competition the scores are lower in general.

"So, I think I can be happy with the performance.

"I must say, today I feel more comfortable in the outdoor pool than two days ago.

"I got used to these conditions."
