Serving over the rainbow: queer badminton league in Bengaluru this weekend
A lot of queer people dont get the chance to play sports in their childhood because of issues like bullying, stigma, or strict gender roles and grow up thinking they cant play sports, points out Sunil Kumar, one of the organisers at Game Point. Born from this experience of being othered in sports, this group of queer Bengalureans and allies get together each weekend to play badminton together in a safe and inclusive environment, redefining their relationship with sports. Queer Badminton League, set to take place on July 5 and 6 at Game Theory, Indiranagar, is a crowning moment for a year of their efforts. As Kumar explains, Some of us could have been sportspeople, but that reality will never be realised. We started the league to give people that experience of professional sports. Eight seven-member teams are set to compete across singles, doubles, and trump matches, in the league which is in its third edition. While professional leagues are cut-throat and priortise the best players, Kumar notes that this community leagues priority is to give every player a chance. Its not just the best players who get to play, and are winning every time the idea is to form a team of seven or eight people from our pool with a mix of amateurs and really good players. This community spirit also comes through in the groups open door policy for both members of the queer community and allies. We call ourselves a queer badminton group but at the meeting itself, nobody is asked about their sexuality, because it can be a very fluid thing. People can have difficulty in explaining where they belong and labels can be quite confusing. Our motto is that everybody is allowed to participate be it as volunteers, the audience, or sponsors, asserts Kumar. While it started out as a local event with players from different areas in Bengaluru, the league has grown to include players from different states, some travelling to take part. We started locally with just people from Whitefield and Indiranagar playing together. But this year, we have people coming from seven cities smaller cities around Karnataka, Chennai, Vijayawada, Pune, Mumbai, and one person from Indore, notes Kumar. With each team sponsored by a different queer-owned business or businesses who are allies to the community, and part of the proceeds going to two causes supporting individuals with HIV and the deaf community, the league aims to both build relationships within the community and also give back to it. Reflecting on the impact this space has had, Kumar says, People who had just started playing in the first or second season, have been regular in practising throughout the year. I know a lot of people who have been living in the city for years but have no friends. But once they start playing, they form teams, and affirm casual connections as well as close relationships. Its an important aspect of community building.

Kerala doctor wins gold at World Medical Games
KOCHI: When Dr Alwin, an associate professor of community medicine, started fitness training in sprinting, he had no idea his disciplined regimen would one day help him win not one but two gold medals for his country. Currently serving in Idukki Government Medical College (GMC), Alwin bagged the medals for India at the World Medical Games held in Spain recently. The resident of Alappad in Thrissur was the only Keralite to represent the country at the event. Dr Alwin discovered the thrill of sprinting as a schoolboy. My tryst with sports began in school. While studying MBBS, I represented my college, Ernakulam Government Medical College, and the university in athletics. However, like many others, the demands of medicine soon became a priority and sports took a back seat, said Dr Alwin, adding that his family supported him and motivated him to follow the passion. Later, his students at the Ernakulam and Idukki GMCs, as well as officials of the Cochin chapter of Indian Medical Association, encouraged him to focus more on training. I trained under Asian Games gold medallist and Arjuna awardee Joseph Abraham. I won silver medals at the IMA national sports meets in Vijayawada and Aurangabad and a gold at the MAC Open National Masters Athletics Championships. These experiences helped me perform well at the World Medical Games, he said. Besides Dr Alwin, a team from the Indian Army also won a medal at event in Spain. On World Medical Games, Dr Alwin said he had never participated in such an event before. At the event, healthcare professionals of various age groups from over 50 countries are bound together by a passion for sports rather than nationality. Winning gold for India in the 100m and 200m sprint events, especially when competing against the amazing French, Mexican, and Algerian finalists, was an emotional moment, said Dr Alwin, adding that the highlight, however, were everlasting friendships forged at the event.
