In the free solo event, Svetlana Kolesnichenko entertained the crowd with her flexibility and movements as she swam her way to the top spot with a score of 92.500. 

 

Despite winning, Kolesnichenko believes that she can perform much better.

 

She said: "They were okay scores, I am happy though.

The battle for silver was won by Spain’s Cristina Salvador whose score of 90.000 was enough avenge her country’s two bronze medals already won in these Championships.

 

Salvador is one of five junior squad members that have been earmarked by Spanish head coach Ana Tarres to begin training with the senior squad.
