FUKUOKA, Japan - Chinese teenagers Zhang Jiaqi and Wang Feilong claimed the mixed synchronized 10m platform at the World Aquatics Championships here on Saturday.
Zhang, 19, a women's synchronized platform winner at the Tokyo Olympic Games, and 14-year-old Wang, led all the way to win the first diving gold at the tournament.
The duo collected a total of 339.54 points in six dives, followed by Mexico's Jose Balleza Isaias and Vivana Delangel Peniche with 313.44 points.
