If I was making the bet, I would have gone for half of those 4.
Maybe gambled on 3 of the 4.

At least one of the (male) commentators on the men's gymnastics sounded like he had a lob on during.

Jackson and Foster was the worst kept secret on the athletics circuit although I'm not sure they are still together. Ian Thorpe lived with a young South American fella for a while and whilst he claims not to be gay is as camp as a row of tents. Claire Balding deffo wears comfortable shoes.
Anyway I don't know if I'm just down on the swimming, but I'm not really rating Balding's & Foster's punditry (that is the important bit), far to jingoistic.
Although I am happy to take that back, if I actually properly listen to them.

Thorpe is as camp as a row of tents. On his wiki page he denies being gay, but I'm sure that's just to protect his
Aussie family. It also states he's a fashion designer - hmmmmm let me think...

As far as I know only Balding has come out and only Jackson is vehement in saying he isnt but for certain he and Foster were an item a few years ago. Thorpe I always assumed was also gay but if he prefers not to admit it that's a fair choice.
I reckon you lost the bet 100%
Balding for me has been the most consistent, most informed, most amusing of all the television commentary team and her twitter timeline has also been great entertainment. Love her to bits!

Thorpe denies it, but I think he is.
Jackson isn't, neither is Foster.

Talking of fashion designers does anyone know Bruno's label and whether there is a web site?

Greg Juganis commentating on the Diving also seemed oriented in that direction.......is that a fair assumption?

That bump on his head a few years back has obviously had an effect...
Louganis, and yes he 100% is.
On the subject of diving, the Australians will have an openly gay diver competing against Tom Daley:
