China take their fourth gold at the Russian meet of the FINA World Diving Series.

Cao Yuan and Qin Kai topped the podium for the third time this season after posting an overall score of 458.61 across their six dives.

Representing the home nation, Evgeny Kuznetsov and Ilya Zakharov ran the Chinese pair close and posted a session-topping 98.04 for their final routine, a forward 4-1/2.

Bronze went the way of Mexico's Jahir Ocampo and Rommel Pacheco, who finished 30 points off the pace with a final score of 422.58.

Great Britain's Jack Laugher and Chris Mears had been due to compete in the event but withdrew for unknown reasons earlier in the day.
