If history is written by the victors, where does that leave those who were never even allowed to join? A collective of queer athletes enters the Olympic Stadium in Athens and sets out to honour those who were excluded from standing on the winners’ podium. Together they create a radical utopia far from the rigid gender rules in competitive sports.
