Matthew Mitcham is the only openly gay male athlete in the Beijing olympics that has won a golden medal. Congrats to him...for being out and proud and for winning the only non-Chinese golden medal in the diving competition. http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/c...lpower/yay.gif

Hopefully with a victory the Redeem Team. Shouldn't be a very competitive game...:(

Not quite. That's more like $5,600. But the dollar is heading that way.:banghead:

Eh, no big deal really...it's not like it gave him a physical hindrance (it's like when people celebrate the first women to fly around the world). If some German guy won the marathon THAT would be something.

Well I'm sure it's a big deal for him, and it does help with some visibility issues. Obviously he wasn't the only gay man in the Olympics, but it's a rather disheartening statistic. So big up for him once again, if nothing else, because he was uber cute...(:

More competitive then expected, I am a little disappointed with how few of the Americans great players are even very good shooters let alone great.

ProggyMan 08-24-2008 11:56 AM

The thing is more emphasis is placed on it in International play, so the best shooters aren't role players like they are here.
