It seems every four years we are flooded with images of nude Olympians. We had 3 successive special editions of Black & White Magazine years ago filled with nude Aussie athletes, now it looks like the Brits are at it. Of the few images I’ve seen, this one of Gregor Tait is my favourite. Maybe because I’ve grown up swimming and love the water, or because of the sheer dynamic nature of it. I wonder how many shots they had to take to get the timing so perfect?
Matthew Mitchum, 20, has become the first ever Australian to represent his country at the Olympics as an openly gay athlete! There was no carefully orchestrated PR release. Nor was it a response to threatened blackmail from a spurned lover or bitter rival. No, Matthew just casually slipped the information into the conversation while talking to a reporter about the upcoming games, probably unaware of the milestone he was setting. Check out a full report in the UK press here.
Congratulations Matthew. Aussielicious sends you all the support in the world.
