what is gcr?

GCR (Gym Class Rejects) is an original idea that came to Ugo Ezenduka during a water break at a futsal game in Kyiv, Ukraine. In 2021, he started gathering stories catered to sports fans tired of reading generic articles about the same old topics. 

Our central focus falls on athletes who usually pop up in those “what happened to x” conversations. We pay attention to what happens beyond the arena and within the white lines. Our blog and video content will open your eyes to well-researched opinions and period pieces on topics and athletes in football, basketball, motosport, and MMA.

We also cover eSports, Darts, F1, and other sporting activities outside the mainstream. If you are looking for inspiring stories of gym class rejects who went on to beat all the odds stacked against them, then GCR is your destination.

GCR is a subsidiary of RoninPoint Services.
