Matthew Mitcham’s boyfriend, Lachlan Fletcher, was in the stands when he won the 10-meter platform gold. I found this Reuters picture and was wondering if anyone out there knows if the guy on the left is Lachlan? Thanks!
Update: It is Mitcham’s partner, Lachlan. Screen capture from Aussie TV after the jump. Here is a nice profile of Mitcham and Fletcher’s relationship.

It is! :)I think it’s so great that he got to have his b/f by his side at such an important moment in his life and obviously it meant a lot to him. Kudos to you, Matthew, outstanding performance! It was a pleasure to watch…

Jim, I’m curious as to how you and others can take NBC to task for not showing Matthew Mitcham’s bf, when even you–the gay sports authority–are not even sure of his identity.

Mark: I never criticized NBC for the b/f, just for not saying Mitcham is gay.
