He will be the first trans commentator to participate in the broadcaster’s coverage of the biggest sporting event in the world
In 2023, Luca began hormone treatment as part of his gender transition and will be the first trans commentator to participate in the broadcaster’s coverage of the biggest sporting event in the world.
At the event in Paris, Brazil will be represented in table tennis by men’s and women’s teams. Hugo Calderano, who has been among the Top 10 in the sport’s ranking for a few years, is considered a strong candidate to win an unprecedented medal for the country.
In 2023, Luca Kumahara received approval from the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) to begin participating in men’s competitions. As this is an unprecedented case of gender transition in the sport around the world, the international entity needed to set up a working group to analyze the issue. The study supported the decision announced in August 2023.
