DIVER Matthew Mitcham looks forward to the day when his sexuality will be of as little interest as the colour of a person’s hair, their eyes or even gender in day-to-day life, let alone in the Olympic Games, in which he will compete this year as a defending gold medallist in London.
But Mitcham, who won the 10-metre platform event at the 2008 Beijing Games shortly after revealing he was gay, realises that day is some time away – and that it won’t arrive before the start of the London Olympics, which yesterday ticked under the ”100 days to go” mark.
