The 50-metre freestyle and 100-metre combat style winners both eclipsed the previous best times of swimmers in the Balkan country.

And Duje Draganja also moved to the top of the all-time leaderboard by completing the combat style 100-metre course in 52.17 seconds.

Draganja also went on to win the men's 50-metre race in a venue record time of 21.58 seconds.
