Hungary capped a marvelous week in the pool with a double gold and silver medal haul. In the men's 400 meter individual medley, local hero Laszlo Cseh cruised to victory in a time of 4:10.95 seconds ahead of David Verraszto who timed 4:12.96. Gal Nevo of Israel took bronze in 4:15.10 seconds.

"I knew that I would not have to do too much to win this race. This is why I swam very relaxed on the last 100 meters," Cseh said.

The raucous crowd also cheered home a Hungarian one-two in the women's 200 meter butterfly final. Katinka Hosszu was in fourth position after the first leg and only overtook her compatriot Zsuzsanna Jakabos in the final 50 meters in a thrilling finish to claim gold in 2:06.71 seconds ahead of Jakabos in 2:07.06.

"At the 150 meter turn I put everything I had into it. I believed I could catch up with Zsuzsanna, so for my last event at these championships I am very happy for the Hungarians that we finished one and two," Hosszu said.

It was a day of mixed emotions for Yulia Yefimova. The Russian won gold in the women's 50 meter breaststroke final, her second of the week, with a new championship record time of 30.29 seconds. Britain's Kate Haywood won silver in 31.12 seconds while Jennie Johannson of Sweden in 31.24 seconds.

Yefimova dived early on her leg in the women's 4x100 medley relay final however, which led to the disqualification of the Russian team. Britain (Gemma Spofforth, Kate Haywood, Francesca Halsall, Amy Smith) who finished behind Russia in second place with a time of 3:59.72 were given the gold medal.
