MATTHEW MITCHAM: The very FIRST ‘Gay Going for Gold!’ The public rise and secret come downs of an Olympic diver

MATTHEW MITCHAM: The very FIRST ‘Gay Going for Gold!’ The public rise and secret come downs of an Olympic diver

'It will never be erased. But it doesn't mean it will always be remembered' - Matthew Mitcham on his historic Olympic gold win. Matthew is the first openly gay man to win gold in Beijing 2008, cementing his status as an LGBT+ legend in sporting history. In his most candid interview yet, Matthew sits down with us and tells us about his struggles with addiction and his deep longing to 'feel special'. You'd think an Olympic gold would satisfy any man's desire for validation, but unfortunately this wasn't the case. Following Matthew's win he fell in to another depression and began using substances again, in what he describes as the infamous 'Olympic come down'. With endorsement deals non existent and Matthew's achievements seemingly forgotten by popular media, comparisons with other LGBT+ athletes began to creep in. Matthew exclusively shares the full story with 'All Out with Jon Dean' in this intimate interview with a sporting trailblazer, who will go down in history as the very first 'Gay Going for Gold'.
