Matthew Mitcham OAM is the 2008 Olympic champion, and first Australian male to win an Olympic gold medal in diving since 1924. Matthew's autobiography, Twists and Turns, reveals a life behind the spotlight plagued by low self-esteem, anxiety and depression, panic attacks and repeated self-harm as a teenager, leading on to drug abuse. Matthew also struggled with issues relating to his sexuality and is one of only a few Olympians to compete at the event as an openly gay man. <a href="https://www
