BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungary showed it remains the dominant force in teqball, a hybrid sport mixing football with table tennis, winning the singles and doubles world titles on Sunday.

Adam Blazsovics easily won the singles title and teamed up with Csaba Banyik to take home the doubles gold in Budapest.

Teqball, the brainchild of former professional soccer player Gabor Borsanyi and computer scientist Viktor Huszar, is played on a downward-sloping, knee-high table and involves spectacular long kicks, dribbles and explosive headers. Blazsovics beat Poland's Adrian Duszak in two straight sets for the singles gold, while he and Banyik also needed only two sets to defeat Montenegro in the doubles.

Hungary did not complete a clean sweep, however, as Brazil won the mixed doubles in the first staging of the mixed gender event. The singles and doubles are open to athletes of any gender.
