Tom Daley won a bronze medal for Team Great Britain in the men’s 10 metre synchronised diving on Monday.
What’s missing from that statement?
You’re right. One person cannot win a synchronised event. In order to be synchronised, you need to synchronise with a partner. In this case, the other bronze medal winner was Daniel Goodfellow, but rather cruelly, the Olympic medalist was completely left off the Daily Mail’s front page story.

Although the British public are overjoyed with Daley and Goodfellow’s incredible achievement, the front page snub has left a bitter taste in some people’s mouth. The general consensus is that only one half of the team is getting the credit.
@SkyNews @MailOnline did you forget to include @danngoodfellow in the front page? #duo

@SkyNews didn’t Tom win as part of a duo? Why only a picture of him?
