Chinanews, Mar3.20 - China unexpectedly swept the first two diving golds here on Monday at the FINA World Championships, but Russia still leads the medal table after adding one to their already two-gold collection, Xinhua reported.

 

In the men's three-meter springboard synchronized final, newly-combined Wang Feng and Qin Kai overcame a fifth-ranked opening dive, then remained on the top position since the fourth rounds.

 

The Chinese duo finally clinched4 the opening diving gold medal with a score of 458.76 points.

 

Canadian pair Alexandre Despatie/Arturo Miranda, and German duo Tobias Schellenberg/Andreas Wels finished second and third respectively.

 

In the women's 10-meter platform synchronized diving final, the teenage pair Jia Tong and Chen Ruolin led since the first round and claimed the victory with a big margin5.

 

The home crowd enjoyed an amazing night as their 14-year-old sensation Melissa Wu grabbed the silver with partner Briony Cole. Their score of 324.00 points is 37.32 points lower than the gold-winning duo's.

 

Germany took another bronze as Annett Gamm and Nora Subschinski were placed third in the event.

 

Russia, having collected two golds on Sunday, clinched another gold through the effort of synchronized swimmer Natalia Ischenko.

 

In Tuesday's competition, Russia is likely to sweep the two golds on offer, as the Anastasia pair are dominant6 in the duet technical routine and Larisa Ilchenko is the hot favorite to win in the women's 10km open water swim.
