Olympic athletes in physical education textbooks: presence or absence of references in our students? Sergio Ruiz-Rabadán, Irene Moya-Mata Universidad de Valencia (España) Resumen. La representación de las mujeres deportistas en los libros de texto de Educación Física supone un modelo de referencia a imitar por parte del alumnado; además de visibilizar por un lado a las deportistas dedicadas a la alta competición, y por otro, el deporte minoritario. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la presencia de las deportistas olímpicas que se representan en los libros de texto de Educación Física en la etapa de Primaria, determinando su visibilización o invisibilización en dichos materiales curriculares. La muestra estuvo formada por seis libros de texto de la editorial Edelvives, la cual aborda el movimiento olímpico explícitamente. Se ha realizado un análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo, tanto de las imágenes como del texto, para medir la presencia y recurrencia de las mujeres. La técnica utilizada ha sido el análisis de contenido basado en un sistema de codificación ad hoc. Para el análisis estadístico se ha utilizado el programa estadístico informático SPSS 22.0. Los resultados muestran una infrarrepresentación de las deportistas olímpicas, siendo más presente el sexismo en el texto que en las imágenes. Estas mujeres deportistas son principalmente estadounidenses, sin discapacidad, que compiten en los Juegos Olímpicos de verano, en modalidades deportivas individuales, siendo el deporte por excelencia el atletismo, y la deportista olímpica con más presencia en estos manuales Nadia Comaneci.

Three appearances (1912, 1920, 1924), 3 gold (100 freestyle 1912 and 1920, 4x200 freestyle 1920) and 2 silver medals (4x200 freestyle 1912, 100 freestyle 1924). 1912 1-1-0, 1920 2-0-0, 1924 0-1-0. Named Duke like his father, in honour of the Duke of Edinburgh who had visited Hawaii in 1869, in 1911 he swam the 100 yards (91 metres) freestyle in 55.4 in the waters of Honolulu harbour, beating the world record by 4.6: a record that was recognized only many years later by the U.S. Federation. In Stockholm he risked disqualification when, with the other Americans Huszagh and McGillivray, he did not show up at the Olympic semi-final due to a misunderstanding, but they were allowed to compete for qualification in the final, as long as they equalled the time of the Australian swimmer Longworth, who had finished third in the other semi-final. He won in 1:02.4, equalling the world record, and in the final a time a second slower was sufficient to win him his first gold medal. In 1920 he set another world record (1:00.4) winning the final of the 100 freestyle on his 30th birthday; 5 days later, he won the repeat race made necessary by the protest of another swimmer, and he also won with a world record time (10:04.4) in the 4x200 freestyle. In 1924 he was unable to win his third gold for the 100, because he was beaten by Johnny Weissmüller (q.v.), the future Tarzan, who won ahead of two Kahanamokus, because his brother Samuel, 14 years younger, came third.

Rome was able to blend the old and the new in its presentations of the Olympic venues. Abebe Bikila of Ethiopia won the marathon event running in bare feet becoming the first gold medalist from the African continent. Gymnast Larisa Latynina of the USSR completed her Olympic “most ever” medal count record of eighteen. Wilma Rudolph of the US, dubbed the “La Gazelle Noire” (the black gazelle) by the Italian press, overcame polio, scarlet fever and won three gold medals in the sprint events. Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali) won the gold medal in the light heavyweight division only the throw the medal into the Ohio River years later. Rafer Johnson of the US won a gold medal to go with his 1956 sliver medal in the decathlon competition. The US basketball team with Oscar Robertson and Jerry West posted the largest average score margin over all the competition. Italy was third in medal count after the US and the USSR. Eighty thousand Italians lit newspaper torches as the Olympic flame was being extinguished in a tribute to Olympic fever! The 1964 Olympic Games of Tokyo, Japan The eighteenth Olympic Games in Tokyo began when Yoshinori Sakai, a Hiroshima resident born during the dropping of the atomic bomb, lit the Olympic torch.
