Tom Daley, Dan Goodfellow's Olympic Bronze Win Watched By 8 Million

Tom Daley and Dan Goodfellow’s Bronze Medal victory drew a peak U.K. audience of almost 8 million -- "the biggest live TV audience for any event at the Rio Olympics so far," according to Mark Sweney of the London GUARDIAN. Daley and Goodfellow’s medal-winning performance in the 10m synchronized diving competition, secured by the slimmest of margins over Germany on the pair’s final dive, "attracted a five-minute peak audience of 7.7 million viewers to BBC1 on Monday night." The men’s group gymnastics final "was almost as popular." The event ran from 8pm to 10:40pm with a five-minute peak audience of 7.2 million, "catching Team GB’s heart-break as Louis Smith came off the pommel horse during his routine." The BBC Sport website "hit a record of 15.2 million global browsers on Monday" (GUARDIAN, 8/9).
