GOLD COAST, Australia (Reuters) - Georgia Sheehan and Esther Qin jumped from fourth to first with their final effort in a women's three-metre springbroad synchronised diving competition beset by technical difficulties with the electronic scoring system on Wednesday.

The Australian pair's compatriots Maddison Keeney and Anabelle Smith, bronze medallists at the 2016 Rio Olympics, had led the competition until the last round but appeared to be affected by the delays and recorded a no-dive.
