Competition continues tomorrow with the free combination routine. The United States will look to defend its free combination title which it earned at the 2006 FINA World Trophy Cup.
The three day competition is being held at the Maria Lenk Aquatic Park, which was also the site of the 2007 Pan American Games. This competition is unlike any other FINA event as it focuses primarily on artistic impression. The format includes the duet, team and combination routine events and will crown an overall winner based on the highest sum of results.
