Hosszu came out on top in the women’s 100 metres and 200m freestyle, as well as the 200m and 400m individual medley, to take her overall total to 162 points.

The quartet of triumphs matched her achievement at the opening leg of the FINA World Cup in Moscow earlier this month and saw her head the Paris-Chartres rankings.

Australia’s Emily Seebohm won the women’s 100m backstroke ahead of Hosszu and the United States' Missy Franklin with a time of 58.91sec to register 54 points in Paris-Chartres and move on to 111 in the overall scoring.

America's Natalie Coughlin, winner of the women’s 50m backstroke with a time of 27.65, came third on 39 points and lies fifth in the overall scoring.

Meanwhile, Van der Burgh replicated his success in Moscow by winning the men’s 100m breaststroke with a time of 58.97, finishing ahead of the US pair Nicolas Fink and Cody Miller in second and third respectively.

Victory increased Van der Burgh’s overall total to 96 points having also won the men's 50m breaststroke with a time of 26.74 on the first of two days of action in France.

Van der Burgh’s compatriot Chad le Clos topped the men's rankings in Paris-Chartres with 60 points following wins in the 200m backstroke, 50m butterfly, 100m butterfly and 200m butterfly, but he finds himself 15 points off the pace in the overall scoring.  

Fink added 200m breaststroke gold to his haul to finish third with 39 points and take his overall total to 54 points.

Elsewhere, Italy’s Gregorio Paltrinieri won the men’s 1500m freestyle for the fifth time in his career with a time of 15min 04.98sec, while Czech Republic’s Jan Micka was the second fastest. 

A very consistent Camille Lacourt of France remained unbeaten in the 50m and 100m backstroke with Belarus’ Pavel Sankovich taking silver and Singapore’s Wen Zheng Quah claiming bronze in both races. 

In women’s competition, Germany’s Franziska Hentke won the 200m butterfly in 2:06.58, beating America's Cammile Adams, who touched home in 2:06.73.

Adams' fellow countrywoman Lindsay Vrooman was the fastest in the 400m freestyle as she surpassed New Zealand’s Lauren Boyle in the last stretch to leave her second.

Jamaica’s Alia Atkinson triumphed in the 100m breaststroke in 30.85 with the US’s Katie Meili just behind in 30.95, while Russia’s Vitalina Simonova took gold in the 200m breaststroke in 2:25.26.

South Africa collected a total of six gold medals, three on day one and three on day two, earning them one more than Hungary and France and two more than the US.

The FINA Swimming World Cup is due to resume on September 25 and 26 for the third leg in Hong Kong, marking the start of the second cluster.
