Swimming giant Ian Thorpe -received support and glowing praise on Monday for revealing he is gay in a move that advocates believe will help remove the stigma of homophobia in sport.


The five-time Olympic champion made the admission in an -interview with British presenter Michael Parkinson aired by Australia's Channel 10 on Sunday.


Thorpe's bravery in openly discussing his sexuality was a major talking point with fellow sports-people Jordan Pickford World Cup Shirt , celebrities and commentators speaking up for the global icon.


The New South Wales Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby said his coming out would have a positive impact, particularly on young people.


"It's a measure of how far we've come that Ian Thorpe is able to come out and I think it's a measure of how far we have to go that it's a news story," the group's Justin Koonin told reporters.


Olympic gold medalist and gay Australian diver Matthew Mitcham said the revelations were an important development to break down the stereotypes about gay athletes.


Mitcham said sponsorship commitments would have weighed heavily on any athlete deciding whether to go public with their sexuality as the stereotypes and the stigma are well known.


"That's why we need high--profile gay athletes to prove the -stereotype wrong. Thorpe is about as high-profile as it gets Marcus Rashford World Cup Shirt ," he said.


The swimming world embraced the 31-year-old for the courage to -reveal his deep secret.


"You've always been a great champion, now even more! I'm proud of you @IanThorpe," tweeted Dutch Olympic champion sprinter Pieter van den Hoogenband.


Swimming Australia president and yachting great John Bertrand congratulated Thorpe for making a stand.


"The fact that one of our -greatest Olympic athletes has been so honest sets a precedent in this country for more open dialogue Danny Welbeck World Cup Shirt ," he said in a statement.


Athletes from other sports also weighed in with Australian cricketer Brett Lee saying, "It doesn't matter as long as you're happy in your own skin. Well done mate."


Even singing superstar Ricky Martin added his congratulations, tweeting Dele Alli World Cup Shirt , "Congrats @IanThorpe! Brave man! Happy for you! Millions appreciate what you've done! Proud of you!"


In the interview, Thorpe said he had "wanted to come out" for some time, but didn't feel as if he could make the admission.


"Part of me didn't know if Australia wanted its champion to be gay Lewis Cook World Cup Shirt , but I am telling not only Australia but the world that I am gay and I hope it makes this easier for others now," he said.

Malaga is the capital of the Costa del Sol region, once over shadowed by its neighboring capital Seville today Malaga stands on its own two feet and competes at every level.

Since the opening of the Malaga Picasso museum in 2003 culture vultures have been flocking to this city in their droves. Malaga is the birth place of Pablo Picasso and his museum now stands proudly amongst the completely refurbished city center.

The best way to fully understand what Malaga has to offer tourists is to understand how the city began and how it has evolved. The city is divided into several Barrios they are essentially different neighborhoods.

Individually these unique areas are interesting and have much to offer tourists but if you consider that all of theses areas are part of one city there is an unbelievable wealth of attractions.

The estimated population of Murcia last year including small connected satellite towns was just in excess of one million inhabitants. This means it is officially the fifth largest metropolitan area in Spain today. Surrounded by mountains Malaga lies in the Southern base of the Axarquia hills as you fly over the top it looks like a sparking jewel on the coast nestled in the mountains and divided by two beautiful meandering rivers.

The Guadalmedina is fed by the lakes created by the moors in the historic village of Guadalest. The old center of Malaga town can be found on the rivers left bank and the Guadalhorce River which flows west of the city and out into the Mediterranean.

The inner city of Malaga is present just behind the port. Today the city still gains as much income through fishing and agriculture as well as tourism. Malaga is still very much a functioning industrial town as well as an interesting tourist location.

By far the most imposing land mark in Malaga has to be the grandiose La Alcazaba. The thick fortified walls Jake Livermore World Cup Shirt , towering remains and ostentatious powerful architecture make this fortress in Malaga a sight not to be missed. It can be reached by a quick saunter from the Plaza de Anduana, The Fortress dates back to the early 700s but the majority of the vast structure was built in the mid eleventh century.

The door way which will take you inside the fort is know as Christs door it marks the place where the Christians of Malaga held their first Mass after the defeat of the Moors.

The winding path will take you through stunning landscaped gardens, you be amazed at this haven of tranquility right in the middle of bustling Malaga city center. Fountains and terraces follow the path closely until you reach the inner courtyards of the for.
