China's Guo Sitong and Shi Haoyue have completed a remarkable debut as a duo, claiming silver in the mixed duet technical final at the Artistic Swimming World Cup in Egypt.
This event marked the first time for the pair to team up, and they set the stage early as the first of 11 pairs to perform in the final. The 17-year-old Shi, competing in his first international event, combined with Guo to deliver an impressive routine that staked them to an early lead with a score of 196.1908 points.
The gold was ultimately claimed by Spain's Dennis Gonzalez Boneu and Mireia Hernandez Luna, however, as they finished first with 207.3858 points. Italy's Gabriele Minak and Sarah Rizea collected bronze to round out the podium.
