Hungary won the highlight event, the other discipline contested today, as they were the sole entrants.

Their routine was rewarded with a total of 75.4500 to seal their first World Series gold.

"They really like this routine, it’s much shorter, and easier than a normal routine," said Hungarian coach Natalia Tarasova.  

"The music is happy, so everyone is happy."

The Artistic Swimming World Series continues with the next leg on the circuit in Québec in Canada on Thursday (May 30).
