If history is written by the victors, then what of those who were never even permitted to join the game? A collective of queer athletes infiltrates the Olympic Stadium in Athens, paying tribute to everyone excluded from claiming victory. They encounter Amanda Reiter, a trans marathon runner who faces prejudice from event organisers, and Annet Negesa, an 800-metre competitor who was urged by international sports federations to undergo a hormone-altering surgery. Together, they forge a radical vision free from the rigid gender norms of competitive sport.
