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.

Britain's Tokyo Olympic champion Tom Daley, paired with Noah Williams this time, finished second with 463.44 for the silver. The bronze was pocketed by Canadian divers Rylan Wiens and Nathan Zsombor-Murray with 422.13, who finished 19th and 13th in the men's 10m platform event respectively at the Tokyo Olympics.

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 Daley and Matty Lee.
