Their choreography also demonstrated greater complexity and harmony with the music, a sharp rise from the 117.6008 points they earned at the 2025 SEA Games in Thailand.

The team free routine featured a new performance titled The Spirit of Phinisi, celebrating Indonesia’s maritime heritage. The routine combined dynamic movements and solid formations to secure 94.0175 points, leaving a strong artistic impression.
