Finally, what you've all been waiting for

Here is our interview with Matthew Mitcham, as it went to air on December 30, 2010.

Part 1
In which Matt talks about his success at the 2010-11 National Diving Championships in Melbourne, and the strength of Australian diving in general (Australia is ranked no.2 in the world after China).


Part 2
In which Matt talks about what makes a good diver, how he got into diving even though he was "an unsporting kid", being an "A-list gay" in Australia, and his admiration for US Olympic ice-skater Johnny Weir.


Part 3
In which Matt talks about his ambitions for his own TV show for kids, his medals, his appearance on Pam Ann's TV show, and his love of music (he's learning to play the ukulele!).


Part 4
In which the interview descends into hilarity. Did you know Matt comes from a very hairy family? (NB: There is a reference to Norrie - click for info.)
