Express and Mirror go Dutch over Olympics dressage win

Monkey can't fault the Daily Express for getting excited about Team GB's Olympic performance – and it makes a change from its recent front pages on the dismal summer weather. Today's front page headline reads "22 carat gold: Britain's greatest Olympic medal haul for half a century", and under the banner "Happy and glorious" are pictures of gold medal winners in triathlon, cycling and dressage. All very well, except the photo of the dressage "winners" is of the Dutch team ... with bronze medals. To be fair, it appears that the mistake originated in an incorrect picture agency caption, and was corrected by the second edition. The Daily Mirror made the same mistake in a p7 panel and a massive pic inside its Olympics supplement – where the Dutch sponsors' names, orange livery and bronze medals are even more apparent. But if British dressage winners Carl Hester, Charlotte Dujardin and Laura Bechtolsheimer (or their parents) are Express or Mirror readers, they may feel a little miffed. .
