Diving duo syncs to the top with golden display

Quan and Chen further assert their dominance over the 10m platform

DOHA — Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi gave China another diving gold medal at the World Aquatics Championships, cruising to victory in the women's synchronized 10-meter platform on Tuesday.

The result was never in doubt for the Chinese stars, who teamed up to capture their third straight world title in the event, following their one-two finish in the 10m individual event a day earlier at the Hamad Aquatic Centre in Doha.

China also romped to victory in artistic swimming in the team technical event, while Jacqueline Simoneau gave Canada its first world championship since 1991 in the sport, with a gold in the women's solo free.
