With 78 points stacked, he finished third behind Italian Giorgio Minisini in gold (88.4667) and Spaniard Fernando Diaz del Rio (83.3333) in silver.

Artistic swimming, a historically feminine discipline, opened up for the first time to men's solo events on the occasion of these European Championships.

On Friday, Minisini had won the technical event becoming the first male solo European champion.

Mixed duo events have already existed since 2015.
