On Sport and Society. 615. https://stars.library.ucf.edu/onsportandsociety/615 SPORT AND SOCIETY FOR H-ARETE February 5, 2001 The comeback of Mario Lemieux with the Pittsburgh Penguins has converged very nicely with that of Jennifer Capriati. In the past week Capriati completed her long climb back to the top of women's tennis, and in the middle of his latest comeback Lemieux was voted NHL player of the month for January. For Lemieux this is at least the second comeback of his remarkable career. The first calamity struck in January of 1993 when Mario was diagnosed with a form of Hodgkin's disease. Radiation treatments ravaged his body and he was unable to perform normal everyday tasks, let alone play hockey. After sitting out the 1994-95 season he came back and performed better than ever continuing at the record breaking pace of points and goals that once made him a legitimate threat to challenge the scoring records of Wayne Gretzky.

    Czech star Petra Kvitova heading to Sydney Monday 5 December 2011 World No.2 and Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova will play at the Apia International Sydney in January, tournament organisers announced today. The 21 year old Czech becomes the third reigning Grand Slam title holder to join the star-studded field, alongside French Open champion Li Na and US Open champion Sam Stosur. Kvitova, who also triumphed at the season-ending WTA Championships in October, said she was excited about making her debut at the Apia International Sydney. “I’m really looking forward to playing there for the first time,” Kvitova said. “I’ve never been to Sydney before and everyone tells me it is such a beautiful city so I can’t wait to get there and see the harbour and the stunning beaches. “I have had some great results in Australia over the years winning in Hobart and Brisbane, so hopefully 2012 will be my year to win the title in Sydney. “The Sydney event is really tough and most of the top girls play there each year so it is a great opportunity to get some good matches in before the Australian Open. “I really see the event as the perfect preparation for the first Grand Slam of the year and I really want to win my first WTA Premier title of the season there.” Tournament Director Craig Watson emphasised the strength of the women’s field at the Apia International Sydney, which is set to get underway on Sunday 8 January at Sydney Olympic Park Tennis Centre.

    Media-Images-And-Words-In-Womens

    Our mission is to advance the lives of girls and women through sport and physical activity. THE FOUNDATION POSITION MEDIA – IMAGES AND WORDS IN WOMEN’S SPORTS In 1994, the Women’s Sports Foundation issued “Words to Watch,” guidelines for treating male and female athletes equally in sports reporting and commentary. This publication was developed in response to a number of events in which media were criticized for sexist comments made during network broadcasts or in newspaper and magazine coverage of women’s sports. The guidelines were distributed to electronic and print media on the Foundation’s media list and by request. “Words to Watch” was adapted with permission of the Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women in Sports, 1994. Section II of this publication remains as “Words to Watch.” In response to numerous questions and criticisms of the visual and narrative portrayal of female athletes on television and female athlete imagery appearing in print media, the Foundation has expanded its “Words to Watch” publication to incorporate imagery and to raise pertinent issues related to authentic and realistic reporting about and depiction of girls and women in sports and fitness. “Images to Watch” was added to this publication in October of 1995 and the main title revised accordingly (see Section I of this publication). This publication also includes a new section written specifically for female athletes who are asked to participate in electronic and print media advertising or other projects. This section (see Section III) was designed to educate athletes about their rights as models and to provide ethics guidelines for decision-making related to their participation in advertising and other visual and written programming regarding how they are portrayed.
