Hungary, Germany and France collected gold medals in the men's finals, while Russia and Britain won golds in the women's deciders at the European Swimming Championships here on Wednesday.
In front of a partisan home crowd, Hungary's Laszlo Cseh touched first ahead of his rival Markus Rogan of Austria to retain the European men's 200m individual medley title.
European record holder and silver medallist in Beijing, Cseh set a new championship record for the gold with a time of one minute and 57.53 seconds, 0.1 second ahead of Rogan. Further back, Britain's Joe Roebuck won the bronze with a time of 1:59.46.
Markus Deibler of Germany led after the first 100 meters but Cseh and Rogan were level in the gold and silver positions after 150m, with Cseh just pipping Rogan for the gold in a thrilling last 50m.
After the race, Cseh said: "This was not my best performance, but it was enough to win. I knew that I had to turn in front of Rogan at the 150m mark. The last lap was very hot."
"I chased him and wanted to catch him, but I didn't achieve it, Cseh was stronger," Rogan said.
In the men's 200m freestyle final, Paul Biedermann of Germany made up for his surprise defeat on Monday in the 400m freestyle to French teen star Yannick Agnel by retaining his European title.
Dominic Meitev of Switzerland in lane 8 led after 100m, but the German had powered ahead by the final turn and won with a time of 1:46.06. Beidermann finished ahead of Nikita Lobintsev of Russia on 1:46.51 and Sebastiaan Verschuren of the Netherlands a further 0.4 seconds behind.
"I tried to begin faster, the time wasn't good, but the title is what counts. I was faster at the German national championships in Berlin," Beidermann said. "I think I managed the public pressure on me well."
Sebastian Rouault of France won gold in the men's 1,500m freestyle final with a time 14:55.17, beating Pal Joensen of the Faroe Islands and Samuel Pizzetti of Italy into second and third places.
Yuliya Efimova of Russia set a new championship record of 1:06.32 in winning the women's 100m breaststroke final. Rikke Moeller Pedersen of Denmark and Jennie Johannson of Sweden finished neck and neck on 1:07.36 for silver.
In the women's 100m freestyle final, Britain's Francesca Halsall won the gold with a time of 53.58 seconds, 0.24 seconds ahead of Aliaksandra Herasimenia of Belarus. The Netherlands' Femke Hemskerk won the bronze in 54.12.
Elsewhere on the third day of the pool events, new championship records were set in the women's 200m medley semifinal by Camille Muffat and by Camille Lacourt who won in 24.30 seconds in the men's 50m backstroke.
