DOHA, Qatar (AP) — With China sitting out the first two diving events, other nations got a chance to shine on Day 1 of the World Aquatics Championships.
Australia's Alysha Koloi won the women's 1-meter springboard, while the British squad led by Olympic gold medalist Tom Daley claimed gold in the mixed team.
China was the reigning world champion in both events, but the world's diving superpower did not have entries in Doha as it focuses on disciplines that will be on the Olympic program at Paris this summer.
At last year's world championships in Fukuoka, China won 12 of 13 events and captured 19 medals in all.
