"Compared with competing in the individual event, I feel more comfortable when participating in the synchronized because I know my teammate is next to me, I know how good she is and I believe that she will lead us to the victory," said the 16-year-old Chen, who is one year elder than her partner.

Both two girls won golds for China at the Tokyo Olympic Games last year as Quan delivered five dazzling dives to beat Chen by 40.80 points for the title in the individual 10m event, while Chen claim the synchronized gold with another world champion Zhang Jiaqi.

"We started to pair from the beginning of this year," said Quan. "She is one year elder than me, but in daily life, we are both very naughty, maybe I'm more naughty than her."
