London, Aug 10 - Russia won Olympic gold in the team synchronised swimming final Friday.

The Russians, headed by two-time Olympic champions Natalia Ishchenko and Svetlana Romashina, scored 98.930 out of 100 for their performance.

China finished second with 97.010 points, narrowly beating Spain, who were awarded 96.920 points and the bronze medal.

The result underlines the dominance of the Russians, who have taken every gold in the event since Sydney 2000.

On Tuesday, Ishchenko and Romashina won gold in the duet.
