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.

Japan's Ito Hiroki and Itahashi Minami took bronze with 305.34 points.

The Chinese team, who clean swept all 13 diving gold medals in last year's Budapest world championships, has a promising chance to secure two more gold medals on the day as the men's 3m synchronized springboard and women's 1m springboard finals will be held later.
