This zine tries to disrupt the toxic economy of male desire in sports through the portrayal of three queer individuals who express their queerness and inhabit their body through athletic activities. I observed them while they were practising. As an observer, I took notes and pictures, and drew their portraits without judging or beautifying them; I wanted to show the truth, their truth.
