Weng and Kai claimed victory with a points total of 469.08 after their six rounds with Dmitry Sautin and Yuriy Kunakov of Russia taking silver with a total of 421.98. Ukraine claimed bronze with 415.05 points.
China has already taken gold in the men's and women's 10m synchronised platform events as well as in the women's 3m synchronised springboard.
