RIO DE JANEIRO—Canadian divers Roseline Filion and Meaghan Benfeito have won a bronze medal in the women’s 10-metre synchronized event at the Rio Olympics. The two women, who also won bronze four years ago in London, finished third with 336.18 points. The duo nailed their final dive — an inward 3 ½ somersault — for a score of 80.64. The Canadians were fifth heading into the final round, but a botched dive by the North Koreans opened the door to the podium for Filion and Benfeito. China continued to dominate in the dive tank as Chen Ruolin and Liu Huixia won gold with 354.00 while Jun Hoong Cheong and Pandelela Rinong Pamg were second with 344.34.
