missed out on the title in this non-Olympic event.
On the fifth day of diving at the championships, China's Li Yajie and Cheng Zilong settled for the bronze medal with a score of 305.70 points, following a costly mistake in their fourth-round dive.
Italy's Pellacani and Santoro, silver medalists at last year's Doha Worlds, delivered a consistent series of dives to take top spot with 308.13 points.
Cassiel Rousseau and Maddison Keeney of Australia finished just behind with 307.26 points to claim silver. This marks the second time China has missed out on gold in diving at the Singapore Worlds, following the women's one-meter springboard earlier in the tournament. Neither event features in the Olympic program.
Earlier in the day, Chen Yuxi and Xie Peiling advanced to the women's 10-meter platform final after placing first and second respectively in the preliminary round. The final will be held on Thursday.

Image via Imagn: Noah Lyles after winning the 200 meters event at the 2025 US Nationals Noah Lyles was born on July 18, 1997, in Gainesville, Florida, and is a decorated American sprinter and one of track and field's biggest stars. Known for his speed, charisma, and style, Lyles rose to global fame after winning gold in the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay at the 2023 World Championships, which earned him the title of 'fastest man in the world. ' In this article, let's take a closer look at Lyles' career, family, and what sets him apart on the global stage. Everything to know about Noah Lyles' record-breaking track career For the unversed, Lyles became the first male sprinter since Usain Bolt in 2015 to achieve the sprint treble at a World Championship. At the 2024 Paris Olympics, Lyles captured his first Olympic gold in the 100m by a razor-thin margin and added a bronze in the 200m, later revealing he had tested positive for COVID-19 just two days before that race. The best of Noah Lyles at the Olympics 🏃 Raised in Alexandria, Virginia, Lyles battled asthma as a child and was later diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD. Despite early academic challenges, he excelled in sports, especially track and field, which he took up at age 12. He won gold in the 200m at the 2014 Youth Olympics and turned pro in 2016, signing with Adidas. Lyles broke Michael Johnson's long-standing American 200m record in 2023, clocking 19.31 seconds, and has since set his sights on surpassing Usain Bolt's world records. With six world titles, an Olympic gold, and multiple Diamond League trophies, Lyles is already a sprinting legend in the making. Noah Lyles' track roots: All about his champion parents and personal journey Noah Lyles was born to Kevin Lyles and Keisha Caine, both accomplished former track and field athletes. His father, Kevin, won gold in the 4x400m relay at the 1993 Summer Universiade and the 1995 World Championships (as an alternate). A standout at Seton Hall University, Kevin clocked a personal best of 45.01 seconds in 1995, ranking 15th globally that year. Lyles' mother, Keisha Caine Bishop, was a 9-time national and 2-time NCAA champion in the 4x100m relay. A former Seton Hall athlete, she has been a strong support system for Noah through his battles with ADHD, dyslexia, and asthma. Today, she serves as a certified life coach, President of The Lyles Brothers Sports Foundation, and CEO of Bishop Athletics Consulting. Noah also has a younger brother, Josephus Lyles, an international sprinter and former world junior champion. Kevin and Keisha divorced in 2024. In October 2024, Lyles got engaged to Jamaican Olympian Junelle Bromfield. The couple first connected in 2017 through social media but remained friends after a rocky first date. They began dating in the summer of 2022 and went public in December of that year. Bromfield, a 400m specialist, won a bronze medal at the 2020 Olympics. The athletic duo also competed at the 2024 Paris Olympics, making them one of track and field's power couples.

Kareena Kapoor Khan And PV Sindhu Redefine Power Dressing In Athleisure's Bold New Era
Last Updated: Kareena Kapoor Khan and PV Sindhu come together, athleisure transforms into a statement of strength, confidence, and modern femininity. When fashion icon Kareena Kapoor Khan and Olympic medalist PV Sindhu join forces, the result is a masterclass in strength, style, and synergy. The latest Puma India campaign captures these two trailblazers redefining athleisure with a bold new energy rooted in confidence, discipline, and unapologetic individuality. The campaign, shot in a clean, high-impact studio setup, blends Puma's signature performance-wear with the personalities of its stars. Kareena brings her innate glamour, posing in sculpted burgundy co-ords and sleek monochromes, while Sindhu channels athletic intensity in functional, form-fitting separates designed for movement and power. From high-waisted leggings and sports bras to training-ready sneakers and statement outerwear, the collection bridges comfort with a contemporary edge making the gym-to-street crossover look seamless. More than just a fashion spread, this visual narrative celebrates the intersection of strength and femininity. PV Sindhu, one of India's most decorated athletes, lends authenticity to the performance gear embodying purpose, movement, and ambition. Kareena, on the other hand, brings her timeless charisma and body-positivity ethos, proving that you can look fierce and feel comfortable no matter the workout (or lack thereof). Their camaraderie in the frames also subtly hints at what modern womanhood looks like: supportive, stylish, and strong in every arena. The mirror-themed backdrop reinforces the core message, 'They Know." It's a nod to inner validation, encouraging women to look inward for strength rather than outside approval. Both Kareena and Sindhu, despite belonging to vastly different worlds, echo the same sentiment: self-worth is the real flex. In an age where activewear is more than just utility, this campaign positions Puma as a label that listens to women, athletes, mothers, celebrities, professionals and designs for their many avatars. Whether you're hitting the court, the treadmill, or just grabbing a coffee post-yoga, the line blends performance with polish effortlessly. This isn't just about sportswear. It's a celebration of two icons owning their journeys, one outfit at a time. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

US Track and Field Championships — Lyles, Jefferson-Wooden storm to victories, Brazier marks return in style
Noah Lyles laid down a world championship marker with a blistering 200m victory at the US trials in Oregon on Sunday as Melissa Jefferson-Wooden completed a sprint double in the women's event. The final day of action at Eugene's Hayward Field saw Lyles come from behind to win a testy battle with Kenny Bednarek in a world-leading 19.63 seconds. After edging in front of Bednarek just before the line, Lyles turned his head to stare down his rival as he took the tape. That drew an angry response from Bednarek, who shoved the reigning 100m and 200m world champion as the two men slowed down after the finish. In the women's sprints meanwhile, Jefferson-Wooden signalled she could well be the woman to beat in Tokyo after completing her 100m-200m double, winning the 200m in 21.84 seconds, with Anavia Battle second in 22.12 seconds. Olympic 200m champion Gabby Thomas just squeaked into the Tokyo squad, finishing third in a photo finish with Brittany Brown. 'As long as I'm executing my race the way I know I can, then the times are going to continue to come,' Jefferson-Wooden said. 'And 21.84 I'll take.' Brazier comeback While Jefferson-Wooden is looking forward to Tokyo, Sha'Carri Richardson will only compete in the 100m at the World Championships. Richardson, arrested for domestic violence last week following a clash with boyfriend Christian Coleman, failed to qualify for the 200m final. Coleman also failed to qualify in the 200m, but will go to Tokyo as part of the US relay pool. Elsewhere Sunday, Olympic 400m hurdles champion Rai Benjamin coasted to victory in 46.89 seconds to seal his spot in Tokyo. In the women's 400m hurdles, 35-year-old 2016 Olympic champion Dalilah Muhammad rolled back the years with a victory in 52.65 seconds, setting up what will be an emotional farewell in Japan in her final season before retirement. In one of the races of the day, former world champion Donavan Brazier capped a sensational return to form with a battling victory in the 800m. Brazier won gold at the World Championships in Doha in 2019, but subsequently saw his career blown off course by multiple injuries, which required surgery. He only returned to racing this season after a three-year absence from the track. The 28-year-old left that injury nightmare firmly in the rearview mirror on Sunday, though, punching through a gap in the final straight to take the tape in a personal best of 1 minute 42.16 seconds, just ahead of 16-year-old Cooper Lutkenhaus, who took second. Lutkenhaus's time of 1:42.27 was a new under-18 world record. Bryce Hoppel was third in 1:42.49. 'The past few years have been really rough for me,' Brazier said. 'To finally have a chance at redemption, and just showcase resiliency -- I was really happy to do it today. It was just pure grit.' In the women's 800m final, former Under-20 world champion Roisin Willis reached her first major championships with a battling victory in 1 minute 59.26 seconds. Willis finished ahead of Maggi Congdon (1:59.39), with Sage Hurta-Klecker third in 1:59.48. In the 110m hurdles, Ja'Kobe Tharp won in 13.01 seconds. Olympic and world champion Grant Holloway, who has a bye to the world championships, scratched from the final. In the women's pole vault, three-time world championships silver-medallist Sandi Morris edged reigning world champion Katie Moon into second place with a winning height of 4.83m.
