British pairing Tonia Couch and Sarah Barrow have finished last in the women's 10m synchro at the World Diving Series in Dubai.
The duo struggled in every round of the competition apart from the second, where they topped the standings for their back dive pike.
The gold medal went the way of China as Chen Ruolin and Liu Huixia posted a total of 324.66 to retain their podium place from last year and make it two from two for the season after last week's triumph in Beijing.
A sub-par performance in the last round saw Malaysia's Cheong Jun Hoong and Leong Mun Yee drop from second to third, with a final score of 315.18 earning them bronze.
Meaghan Benfeito and Roseline Filion capitalised on Malaysia's mistake to take the silver medal for Canada with a total of 321.27, improving on last year's third-place finish.
