DOHA, Qatar (AP) — Twins Wang Liuyi and Wang Qianyi teamed up to capture another gold medal for China in artistic swimming at the World Aquatics Championships on Monday.
The 27-year-old sisters won the women's duet technical routine with a score of 266.0484 points.
They have combined for eight gold medals over their world championship careers, including two in Doha. They were part of the winning group in the team acrobatic event on Sunday.
Kate Shortman and Isabelle Thorpe gave Britain its best showing ever at worlds, capturing the silver with marks of 259.5601. The country's only other medal in artistic swimming was Shortman's solo free bronze at last summer's championships in Fukuoka.
