Lin Yue and Chen Aisen secured China's second diving gold medal at the Rio Olympics on Monday by winning the men's synchronized 10m platform.

Lin and Chen posted an overall score of 496.98 points, to finish ahead of US pair David Boudia/Steele Johnson (457.11) and Great Britain's Thomas Daley/Daniel Goodfellow (444.45).

It was Lin's second Olympic gold medal in the event after his victory at the Beijing 2008 Games alongside Huo Liang.

The result at Rio's Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre means China has won both of the diving gold medals to have been decided so far at the Rio Games.

On Sunday, Wu Minxia and Shi Tingmao took out the women's synchronized 3m springboard title.
