A typing error is to blame for the report that British diver Tom Daley will be Britain’s youngest ever male Olympian.

Daley will be 14 years and 81 days when the Beijing Olympic games begin in August. The record is owned by Kenneth Lester who was in the rowing pairs at the 1960 Rome Games. Lester was 13 years and 144 days old when he competed.

The error was in the international Olympic handbook that had Lester’s year of birth at 1937, when it was actually 1947.

Lester called the Olympic office telling them the error.

“I feel awful about it,” Lester told the Daily Mail.

Lester was eliminated in the early rounds of his competition, so the record for youngest British Olympic medalist is in Daley’s grasp.
