The duo scored over 100 points for their required dives and opened the optional rounds with an inward three-and-a-half somersaults tucked and moved into third place after scoring 77.76.
Their best dive was the back three-and-a-half somersaults tucked which almost scored them 80 points and set them up for their medal placing.
