About Mille Kongstad

Born 1989. Mille Kongstad is a Danish badminton player.

Miko Schiøtt Kongstad (formerly Mille Kongstad; born 19 August 1989) is a Greenlandic badminton coach and a former competitive player. A dominant domestic athlete in the 2000s and 2010s, Kongstad is a multitime national champion across women's singles, doubles and mixed doubles categories. A trans rights advocate, he has criticized Greenland's lack of gender-affirming healthcare services.

Born to a Danish father and Greenlandic mother, who later divorced, Kongstad grew up in Qaqortoq and began playing badminton at the age of six.

Kongstad was the official national flagbearer for the Greenlandic athletic delegation at the opening ceremonies of the 2006 Arctic Winter Games. He moved to Denmark at 18 and began training at the international coaching program of the TopDirect Danish Badminton Academy in Hillerød.

At the national championships, Kongstad won the singles titles from 2007 to 2010, and again in 2013. Kongstad also won the ladies' doubles titles in 2007 together with Else Høegh Møller, and four more titles (2008–2010, 2013) with Aviaaja Geisler. After suffering consecutive ligament tears in 2011 and 2013, Kongstad retired from his professional career.

At the age of 31, Kongstad underwent gender-affirming surgery and publicly came out as a trans man. He underwent top surgery at a clinic in Malmö, Sweden, as it did not require prior hormone therapy. Although anxious, he was supported by his father. He started hormone therapy eight months later.
