China's Guo Muye added the men's solo free title to his men's solo technical gold on Sunday, highlighting the final day of competition at the World Aquatics Artistic Swimming World Cup in Paris.

Guo declared the highest degree of difficulty in the final, with his routine drawing inspiration from the video game "Black Myth: Wukong". He performed the same program while claiming silver at last year's World Championships and has further elevated the difficulty level of his movements this season.

Throughout the competition, Guo demonstrated notable improvements in execution quality and precision compared to the previous events. His performance earned full recognition from the judging panel, as the 17-year-old topped the podium with 259.4950 points. The victory marked Guo's second gold medal at this World Series stop in the French capital.

"Compared with last year, I increased the difficulty in this performance, which earned me higher technical scores," said Guo. "This improvement is attributed to my winter training sessions with the national team, during which my physical endurance and fitness improved significantly."

Ranjuo Tomblin of Great Britain claimed silver and Viktor Druzin of Kazakhstan took bronze.
