Guest EXPAT Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Matthew Mitcham, one of the few openly gay Olympians from Australia, tweeted last night that if he wins gold this coming weekend in the men's platform diving competition that he will celebrate by diving naked. Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 He'll have to beat the British medal winner who already posted this pic after winning his bronze medal. This is Robbie Grabarz. Quote
Guest samfitzpatrick Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 How do I get on the judging panel? 10 for Mitcham, 2.5 for everyone else. Quote

This photo appeared on my FB page a few minutes ago. I received it from a gay blog which I get. There were also photos of many Gay Pride events throughout the world too! Quote
Guest zipperzone Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 If he wins gold and dives naked as promised - I hope he doesn't just cannonball........ Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Sad face. He didn't even qualify for the finals. He's had too many injuries apparently. Quote
Guest samfitzpatrick Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Maybe we can convince gold medalist David Boudia to step in for Mitcham. Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 At least David got Gold and my favorite brit, Tom Daley got bronze. http://www.latimes.c...0,1067059.story Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Matthew Mitcham may not have won a medal in London, but he's decided that he can't retire, he loves the Olympics too much. With injuries, he'll probably transition to the 3M Springboard for Rio. “But I have been in discussion with Chava my coach about the possibility of becoming solely a springboard diver … I’m not really going to take a holiday when I get home — I’m actually going to start working on the strength required to be a springboard diver straight away.“It’s going to take a long time to get my thighs as big as [China's] He Chong’s.” He also talks about being a synchro partner for James Conner.

Guest EXPAT Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Boy, he certainly loves his Vegemite. . . Quote
Members Lucky Posted November 16, 2012 Members Posted November 16, 2012 He liked his crystal meth too. After failing to win a ranking of #1 following the 2008 Olympics, he became depressed and entered the spiral of crystal meth. He reveals this in his new autobiography, Twists and Turns. He is also interviewed on Australia's 60 Minutes, a short preview of which is here: http://video.au.msn....minutes/xqmkd46 Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 Good thing is he has recovered. Good for him. A friend of mine got into escorting when he was addicted to meth. I tried to help him as much as I can at that time to cheer him up so he can quit meth and escorting too... He eventually did and seems to be well now. So some people can overcome the addiction. I'm glad that Mitch did... Quote
Members Lucky Posted November 16, 2012 Members Posted November 16, 2012 One doesn't think of you consorting with meth users, hito. BTW< Congrats on the 3000th post. I hope you had fun posting them. Quote
