Former Olympic swimmer Daniel Kowalski
 Announced two days ago "Things pop in my head that make me realise that I clearly suppressed these thoughts of being gay … because it was 'wrong', as a male it's 'wrong' but even more as an elite athlete," he said. "I always knew that I lacked confidence when I stood up on the blocks and I do wonder sometimes if that lack of confidence was fear – fear of not really knowing who I am. "On the sporting side, I lost to some amazing champions, so I'm not for a second saying that this is the reason I didn't win. I often wonder if the lack of self-confidence and lack of identity in many ways held me back from reaching my potential." He added that he hoped to find love soon, saying: "I look for all the things straight people do. I want to fall in love and be happy and be proud of who I am."
