SINGAPORE, July 28 (Xinhua) -- China's Wang Zongyuan secured his fourth straight world title in the men's 3-meter synchronized springboard event at the World Aquatics Championships on Monday.
Wang, partnering with newcomer Zheng Jiuyuan for the first time in a major international competition, led from start to finish, taking the gold with a total of 467.31 points after six dives.
Mexico's Juan Manuel Celaya Hernandez and Osmar Olvera Ibarra claimed the silver with 449.28 points, while the British pair of Jack Laugher and Anthony Harding earned the bronze with 405.33.
