Daley, Goodfellow seal Olympic bronze

Great Britain's Tom Daley and Daniel Goodfellow have won Olympic bronze in the men's synchronised 10m platform at Rio 2016.

The pair, who only began training together last October, clinched Team GB's eighth Olympic diving medal after pipping Germany to third place with a score of 444.45.

With a score of over 84 points needed to overhaul Patrick Hausding and Sascha Klein, the two Britons waited anxiously before leaping into the pool in celebration when the score of 89.64 came up.

China's Lin Yue and Chen Aisen, the pre-competition favourites, scored 496.98 to win gold by a comfortable margin, while United States duo David Boudia and Steele Johnson clinched silver thanks to a score of 456.11.
