“There’s someone I wanted to share it with, who might not be watching today. Six months ago I met the love of my life. The most beautiful and kindest person in the world. Three months ago I made my biggest mistake and cheated on her, and I told her about it a week ago. It’s been the worst week of my life. I had a gold medal in life, and there are probably many who look at me with different eyes, but I only have eyes for her. Sports could have been a bit different in recent days. Yes, I wish I could share that with her.
I told her a week ago, and then it ended, of course. I’m not ready to give up. I hope that committing social suicide might show how much I love her. I’m taking the consequences for what I’ve done. I regret it with all my heart. Maybe I’m just stupid. I did stupid things, and then I realized that this is the woman in my life, and I can’t live my whole life keeping it a secret from her. My only way to the goal is to tell her everything and put everything on the table – and hope that she can still love me. I’ve done that for her, and now for the whole world. I have nothing to lose.“
