China's Wang wins gold in men's 3m springboard at world championships

In the platform final, top finishers Yang and Lian collected 467.79 points to secure China's fourth gold from as many events at worlds. British pair Matthew Lee and Noah Williams took the silver with 427.71, and Canada's Rylan Wiens/Nathan Zsombor-Murray completed the podium with 417.12.

"We have just teamed up for a short time, and in fact our performance today was not good enough for a premier event like worlds," said Yang Hao, who had won the gold in the same event five years ago in Budapest with another partner Chen Aisen, a two-time Olympic champion and three-time world title winner.

"Chinese team failed to secure the gold in this event at Tokyo Olympics, so we are happy that this time we won it back," the 24-year-old added.

British diver Lee won the men's 10m synchronized gold in Tokyo with his former partner Thomas Daley, beating Chinese duo Cao Yuan and Chen Aisen.
