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.
At last year's world championships in Fukuoka, China won 12 of 13 events and captured 19 medals in all.
Daley, who won a gold medal in the 10-meter synchro at the Tokyo Olympics, claimed his first international title since taking a year-long break from the sport.
The other members of the Australian bronze medal team were Li Shixin, Maddison Keeney and Nikita Hains.
