Russia wrapped up three titles in combination, solo and team while China took one gold in duet and three silver meals. Canada collected one silver and three bronze and Japan had a bronze medal.

The 21-year Anzhelika Timanina of Russia said: "It's my first World Cup, and my first world title. I want to take this gold for my coach." The Russian head coach Tatiana Pokrovskaya said: "We congratulate China and Canada for their great performance, which inspired us to show our best. Three gold from the World Cup is good, though we quit the duet because one of our swimmers was injured."

"But I think four events and four gold in a big competition are not enough. China and Canada all performed very well. Everyone should get gold medals," Pokrovskaya continued.

Wang Na, former national team member and now a national coach, admitted that her team did not perform their best in the Team free routine final. "We just performed normal level. Maybe it's because we are lack of training during the four day competition. We've learned a lot from Russia and Canada," Wang said.

Julie Sauve, Canada's head coach, considered: "Four medals. It's our first time to four medals in one World Cup. It's amazing."

The four-day World Cup has attracted more than 170 swimmers from 26 nations.
