Artistic Swimming World Cup Series Concludes, China and Britain Win Most Golds in Super Final
The World Aquatics Artistic Swimming World Cup series of 2026 has come to end with the Super Final held in Toronto, and China topped the medal table, having won five golds and one silver medal with spectacular executions of its routines.
The last stop of the series was hosted in Toronto after Medellin (Colombia), Paris (France), Xi’an (China) and Pontevedra (Spain), and the athletes made sure to put on a show before turning their attention to their continental championships. Once again, the Chinese team was most impressive, winning five gold medals out of the 11 finals that took place in Toronto. Great Britain followed China in the second place of the medal table with four gold medals, and in third position was Japan with one. Germany also won one gold medal, in women’s solo free with Klara Bleyer.
In women’s duet, Yanjun Lin did not compete with her twin sister Yanhan, with whom she had won the silver medal at last year World Championships in Singapore, but with Huiyan Xu. In the technical event, they won the gold medal by securing 314.0565 points, and in the free event they placed first with 315.0224 points. Their domination is indisputable because no other duet manage to score over 300 points. Xu dominated in women’s solo technical as well, with 264.4450 points. Bleyer, the world champion from 2025, followed with 254.6417 points, and Moe Higa of Japan took third with 252.8258 points.
China won golds in two out the three team events, first in technical and later in acrobatic. China did not participate in team free. Japan made sure to take advantage of China’s absence in the team free, securing first place with 257.9333 points. Britain’s four gold medals came from the men’s events and mixed duets. Ranjuo Tomblin won double gold in solo free and solo technical, and in the mixed events, he competed along with 2024 Olympic silver medalist Isabelle Thorpe.
Team Italy was announced as the overall winner of the 2026 Artistic Swimming World Cup by World Aquatics.
