Dawn Lucy (later Gaskin) was the first athlete I ever coached. Previously, she had made little progress for several years. In our first season together her improvement was such that the local newspaper was prompted to address her performances with this headline. ABSTRACT This study explores the history of English women's athletics, from the earliest references up to 1980. There is detailed discussion of smock racing and pedestrianism during the eighteenth- and nineteenth-centuries, but attention is focused on the period from 1921, when international and then domestic governing bodies were formed and athletics .became established as a legitimate sporting activity for women.

  • I TEAM JAPAN: THEMES of 'JAPANESENESS' in MASS MEDIA
    i TEAM JAPAN: THEMES OF ‘JAPANESENESS’ IN MASS MEDIA SPORTS NARRATIVES A Dissertation submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Michael Plugh July 2015 Examining Committee Members: Fabienne Darling-Wolf, Advisory Chair, Media and Communication Doctoral Program Nancy Morris, Media and Communication Doctoral Program John Campbell, Media and Communication Doctoral Program Lance Strate, External Member, Fordham University ii © Copyright 2015 by MichaelPlugh All Rights Reserved iii Abstract This dissertation concerns the reproduction and negotiation of Japanese national identity at the intersection between sports, media, and globalization. The research includes the analysis of newspaper coverage of the most significant sporting events in recent Japanese history, including the 2014 Koshien National High School Baseball Championships, the awarding of the People’s Honor Award, the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup, wrestler Hakuho’s record breaking victories in the sumo ring, and the bidding process for the 2020 Olympic Games. 2054 Japanese language articles were examined by thematic analysis in order to identify the extent to which established themes of “Japaneseness” were reproduced or renegotiated in the coverage. The research contributes to a broader understanding of national identity negotiation by illustrating the manner in which established symbolic boundaries are reproduced in service of the nation, particularly via mass media. Furthermore, the manner in which change is negotiated through processes of assimilation and rejection was considered through the lens of hybridity theory. iv To my wife, Ari, and my children, Hiroto and Mia. Your love sustained me throughout this process.

Czechosłowackie lekkoatletki na arenie międzynarodowej w okresie międzywojennym Streszczenie W okresie międzywojennym nastąpiła emancypacja światowej lekkoatletyki kobiecej, gdy wy- czyny sportowe i zainteresowanie publiczności, zwłaszcza podczas Światowych Igrzysk Kobiet, w wyraźny sposób przyczyniły się do tego, że lekkoatletyka kobieca została zatwierdzona przez członków MKOI i IAAF. Europejska lekkoatletyka kobieca swój rozwój i emancypację w znacz- nym stopniu zawdzięcza reprezentacji Czechosłowackiego Związku Piłki Ręcznej i Sportów Ko- biecych, której nie zabrakło w momencie założenia federacji światowej. Do wzrostu popularności lekkoatletyki kobiecej wśród europejskich fanów sportu w dużej mierze przyczyniły się światowej sławy gwiazdy lekkoatletycznych bieżni, a także rzutni i skoczni. W konkurencji z lekkoatletkami sportowych mocarstw mierzyć się mogły reprezentantki Polski i Czechosłowacji, i to mimo znacz- nie skromniejszego zaplecza treningowego. Artykuł poświęcony jest cieszącym się największymi sukcesami czechosłowackim lekkoatletkom okresu międzywojennego, które odniosły zwycięstwa w największych międzynarodowych zawodach lekkoatletyki kobiecej, a dzięki swoim fenomenal- nym wyczynom zostały na zawsze wpisane do tabel rekordów światowej lekkoatletyki.

These first Games for women were organized by the International Sports Clubs of Monaco and Monte Carlo, with the aim to attract and entertain sporting enthusiasts. At this international competition, women had their first opportunity to participate in athletics competitions. The Games were held in 1921, 1922 and 1923 in Monte Carlo. At that time, these Games had a prefix ‐ Olympic. The success of the first Games made the organization of the following competitions for women in a variety of events much easier. The President of the International Federation of Sports for Women was Alice Milliat, and she organized the Women's Olympic Games in Paris in 1922, the International Women's Games in 1926 in Gothenburg, in 1930 in Prague and in 1934 in London.

  • Female Athletes in Japan's Modern Sportsworld
    Asia Pacific Journal of Sport and Social Science, 2013 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/21640599.2013.800685 Adversity, acceptance, and accomplishment: female athletes in Japan’s modern sportsworld William W. Kelly* Department of Anthropology, Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA In Japan as elsewhere, sport is strongly coded as a masculine field. Nonetheless, women have long played sports at elite and popular levels despite considerable, continuing disadvantages in material resources, media attention and ideological support. I propose four reasons for the surprising profile of Japanese sporting women over the past century. Japan has long placed importance on its success in the Olympic Games; as the Games were opened up to female events, national ambition motivated Japan to improve opportunities for elite female athletes and celebrate their success. A second factor is extensive corporate sponsorship of a range of individual and team sports at elite levels for both male and female employees, which opened up opportunities to women for intensive training and national and even international participation. Moreover, sporting accomplishment more generally in Japan has foregrounded trained effort and focused on commitment rather than ‘natural’ ability or brute strength. And mainstream notions of Japanese personhood are sociocentric, not individuated. Sociality is as much a norm of masculine conduct as of feminine conduct, and gender dichotomies are more relational than absolute. Together, these factors offer a compelling rationale for female sporting performance in Japan’s modern century and some optimism for further gains in the future. Keywords: Japan; sports; gender; women; Olympics Introduction The Japanese national teams in football (or soccer, as it is called in Japan) have had mixed success in international competition, but they are world leaders in strategies of branding and marketing.
