Reymond finished in four hours, 51 minutes and 6.20 seconds in the men's race, just 0.3 seconds faster than Russia's Kirill Belyaev who won silver. Alessio Occhipinti of Italy came third in 4:51:09.50.

The French swimmer stayed in the top-five lead most of the race to conserve his energy for a final spurt 2km ahead of the touchpad.

"The last 400 meters was very, very tough and it was the hardest finish of my life... I don't even know how I did it. I guessed that I touched before him and it's magic," said Reymond.

Cunha claimed her second gold of these championships in the 25km race after winning gold in the 5km open water event. She has been dominant in the 25km race, capturing three 25km gold medals in 2011 from Shanghai, in 2017 from Kazan and in 2017 from Budapest.

In the third and final group matches for men's water polo, Hungary was the first to qualify for quarterfinals, winning its third consecutive match in Group C by pounding South Africa 23-5. Spain secured second position with a 23-3 win over New Zealand.

In Group A, Serbia raced to the quarterfinals with an easy 9-3 victory over Greece. Montenegro trounced the host team South Korea 24-6, sealing second spot.
