Poor Daniel Goodfellow. One minute you’re winning your first Olympic medal in one of the Games’ most technically difficult events under intense pressure. The next you’re being cropped off the front of almost every British newspaper thanks to your 10m synchronised diving partner being a national superstar. It’s no wonder his mum was so unhappy. But Goodfellow isn’t the first British Olympian to be overshadowed by the exploits of a sporting partner. Can you identify the Team GB Olympian from this picture of their less-garlanded team-mate?
