When her diving career is over, Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix wants to be a journalist, sharing other people’s stories and finding the humanity in sport. “You get to learn about people,” the 19-year-old said, “and that’s a beautiful thing”. In Paris, Spendolini-Sirieix wrote a comeback story of her own, standing on the Olympic podium with Lois Toulson after winning bronze in the women’s synchronised 10m platform. It was the sort of tale of resilience and spirit she aspires to tell when no longer in the thick of the action.
