Paris 2024: 'Sexist' behavior by camera operators and commentator not tolerated
The official Olympics broadcaster has urged camera operators to film men and women athletes in the same way to avoid "stereotypes and sexism" creeping into the coverage, its CEO said Sunday, July 28. The Paris Olympics are the first in the 128-year history of the modern Games to reach gender parity among athletes, with women's sports also given more prime-time broadcast spots.
With the Games now in full swing, the head of Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) said his organization had updated its guidelines for camera operators, most of whom are men. OBS is responsible for the TV coverage of the Olympics, with its images shared with rights holders around the world.
"Unfortunately, in some events, they [women] are still being filmed in a way that you can identify that stereotypes and sexism remain, even from the way in which some camera operators are framing differently men and women athletes," chief executive Yiannis Exarchos told reporters in Paris. "Women athletes are not there because they are more attractive or sexy or whatever. They are there because they are elite athletes."
He said the problem was mainly down to "unconscious bias," with camera operators and TV editors tending to show more close-up shots of women than men.
(. . . . )
When the ancient Greek Olympics concept was revived by French aristocrat Pierre de Coubertin in the late 19th century he saw it as a celebration of gentlemanly athleticism "with female applause as its reward." In 1924, the last time the Olympics were held in Paris, just four percent of competitors were women and they were restricted to sports considered "suitable" for them, such as swimming, tennis and croquet.
Edit, oh yeah, fats celebrate btw:

Got into an argument with my gf cause she was saying "can't believe what they make the female athletes wear". I said I bet if we check their instagrams they'll have photos in just as revealing, if not more, exercise gear. She gave up after the third gymshark hoe lmao

They sure don't seem to make the Muslim women wear thongs when they race, they seem fine in a regular track suit.

Why is it surprising to people that women in their physical prime that they spent their entire lives on molding might want to show it off.

It's not surprising to foids at all, they're just irritated that moids see straight through the facade.

The causality is reversed. Once you've already forced to debase yourself by these uniforms you may as well become an IG thot, there's no modesty left to defend.

Doesn't explain all the women from Muslim countries not wearing ultra revealing stuff. There are teams in Women's beach volleyball competing in hijabs.
