Iranian duo wins second Asian diving medal

The Iranian pair of Sam Vajer and Kiumars Aslani grabbed a second bronze medal at the Asian Diving Championship in Jiangmen, China.
A winner of two medals in March’s Asian Age Group Aquatics Championships, the duo finished third behind gold winner China and North Korea in the men’s 10m synchronized platform final.
They had also teamed up for a third-spot finish in the 3m springboard synchro event earlier in the competition.
Vajer, who was named the best diver of the 15-17 age class in March’s event in the Philippines, made history by grabbing a first medal for the country in the Asian diving meet, taking the bronze in the 1m springboard final.
