The Austrian water diving duo Anton Knoll and Dariush Lotfi sensationally won the gold medal in the Olympic synchronized competition from the tower at the European Swimming Championships in Belgrade. 

In Serbia, Knoll/Lotfi collected 367.05 points in six rounds on Friday and were thus clearly better than the Italians Francesco Casalini/Julian Verzotto (356.88) and Ben Cutmore/Euan McCabe (350.70) from Great Britain. This is Austria's first medal in water diving for eight years.
