Matthew Mitcham held a press conference for the first time since the Beijing Olympics.
He was the ONLY openly gay male athlete at the Games and that saddened him:
"I was actually very surprised I was the only 'out' male at the Olympic Games. It's a little bit sad I think, because statistically there should be a lot more but, you know what, it's each to one's own. I'm not going to pressure anybody else to come out of the closet because it's their own choice. But I'm proud to be there, proud to be that one, that lots of other people can look up to."
Readers correct me if I am wrong...what's the statistics now--1 in 3 males are gay.
So let's do our math now...there were how many male athletes at the Games.....
