Sports

Kalayathumkuzhi Mathews Beenamol, popularly known as K M Beenamol (b. August 15, 1975, Kombidinjal, a village in Kerala, India) is an international athlete from India. She became the second Indian to reach an Olympics semi-final since P.T. Usha. Until she won an electrifying first heat at the Sydney Olympics 2000, Beenamol was largely unknown.
