PARIS, July 29 (Xinhua) -- China's Lian Junjie and Yang Hao claimed the men's synchronized 10m platform diving title at the Paris Olympics on Monday.

Lian and Yang, three-time world championship winners in this event, are competing in their first Olympic Games. They lived up to expectations by scoring a total of 490.35 points from six rounds in the final.

The Chinese diving "Dream Team" bagged seven out of eight gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics, only missing out on the men's synchronized 10m platform, which was won by Britain's Tom Daley and Matty Lee.
