Olympian stud Matthew Mitcham, 21, finally landed a sponsorship, according to his appearance last Monday on Sydney’s ‘The Morning Show.’ Mitcham, an openly gay athlete, discussed his success in Beijing, his future plans and his experiences as a gay sports person including being part of the 2009 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.

Did you know that Mitcham almost considered not going to China for the Olympics due to fear of his safety? His legal advisor, however, advised him that as long as he’s not waving the rainbow flag around, he should be fine.
