The story
Xiao Hailiang and Xiong Ni won the men's synchronised 3m springboard gold medal in diving at Sydney 2000 on 28 September 2000. The title went to China, with the competition held at Sydney International Aquatic Centre, Australia.
How it unfolded
Alexandre Dobroskok and Dmitri Saoutine (Russia) took silver; Robert Newbery and Dean Pullar (Australia) took bronze.
The wider picture
The Olympic diving programme separated individual springboard and platform events from synchronised competitions. Judges assessed the execution of each dive, with the degree of difficulty affecting the points awarded. Individual finals at this edition carried the prescribed semifinal score into the final total. Synchronised pairs also received marks for timing and coordination, so their competition could not be ranked against individual divers.
