Fellow Japanese contender Liz Akama took silver with Brazilian Rayssa Leal collecting bronze at Place de La Concorde on Sunday.

Yoshizawa racked up 272.75 points from her three best runs.

Akama, herself only aged 15, collected 265.95 for second and Leal finished on 253.37, comfortably ahead of fourth-placed Cui Chenxi of China.

Leal, who won silver at the Tokyo Olympics last time out, was the oldest of the three medallists in the French capital at 16.
