Australian diver Matthew Mitcham has just come out as a gay man.
The 20-year-old gold medal hopeful will be representing his country in Beijing this summer.
He'll be the first openly gay athlete from Australia to compete in the Olympics.
Congrats!

Are we including lesbians in this this of out Aussie Olympians at the time of competing? If so there have been several. A medallist in the shot put who thanked her girlfriend and one of our greatest ever hockey players, who married a Dutch competitor, from memory.
