Olympic gold-winning diver Matthew Mitcham is staying modest and grounded despite gaining worldwide fame as a gay sporting icon, reports South Australia's Blaze gay newspaper. Charmer: Olympian Matthew Mitcham "I do get recognised a bit," he admits. "It's nice and humbling, but it still takes me by surprise. Someone will walk past and do a double take, then come back, shake my hand and say, 'congratulations'. "And for a split second, I'll think, 'Have they got the right guy? Who have they mistaken me for?'" Mitham says he's had expressions of interest for sponsorship deals, but hasn't signed anything yet. Blaze's full interview with Matthew Mitcham is on the link below.
