Four time Olympic medal winner,Daniel Kowalski, revealed his true self. Here is his own statement about being inspired by other athletes that have come out and his personal feelings on his new chapter in life:
“I just want them to realize that they (other athletes) are not alone, that the feelings that they have are probably quite common and that at the end of the day it’s really OK. There will be hard times but you surround yourself with great supportive people who love you for you and you’ll be OK. Things pop in my head that make me realize 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. 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 one 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. 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.”
