#Matthew Mitcham, the Australian diver who won an Olympic gold medal in 2008 as an openly #gay athlete, has announced his retirement from diving.
In a statement via the Australian Olympic Committee, Mitcham said: “I don’t feel there is anything unfinished with my diving career and I have goals in other areas now that require the same commitment that I have given to sport over all these years.
“I have achieved everything I hoped for, including the big three of Olympic gold in 2008, world number one in 2010, and Commonwealth gold in 2014.”
