  • Las Deportistas Olímpicas En Los Libros De Texto De Educación Física
    2020, Retos, 38, 229-234 © Copyright: Federación Española de Asociaciones de Docentes de Educación Física (FEADEF) ISSN: Edición impresa: 1579-1726. Edición Web: 1988-2041 (www.retos.org) Las deportistas olímpicas en los libros de texto de educación física: ¿presencia o ausencia de referentes en nuestro alumnado? 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.

  • THE BEST IS the BEST: Why Hu Kexin of China Deserved Olympic Gold Dustin Newcombe
    THE BEST IS THE BEST: Why Hu Kexin of China Deserved Olympic Gold Dustin Newcombe At the 1976 Montreal Olympics, Nadia Comenici created an iconic image in her dismount from the uneven bars. The judges called it perfect and gave her a ten. It was the first ten awarded in gymnastics at the Olympics in the modern era. She made history that night. She was 14 years old. Bela Karolyi was her coach. How the rules have changed! Nadia Comenici would not have made history in 2008. It’s not because the judging system has changed and the perfect 10 is no longer the standard. Instead, Comenici would not have competed because of the minimum age requirement. If by some twist of fate or fancy paperwork doctoring she made it into the competition, an eccentric and outspoken American coach named Bela Karolyi would cry fowl and call the Romanians cheaters. Without the perfect ten standard, Comenici’s iconography might have been simply great biography. But the new judging system does one thing adequately: it manages human error/favor. The age limit is another example of human error that needs changed. It’s arbitrary, discriminatory, and hinders greatness in gymnasts that peak young. Gymnastics is fickle; it’s a revolving door for the new and old. The physical and mental demands of the sport make injury likely and peak sustenance difficult. It’s rare that fans can follow their favorite gymnasts, like Nadia Comenici and Shannon Miller, through multiple Olympics. Age limiting might be well intended to reduce injury (physical and mental) among young female athletes.

  • Nadia Comaneci
    SPORTING LEGENDS: NADIA COMANECI SPORT: GYMNASTICS COMPETITIVE ERA: 1970 - 1981 Nadia Elena Comaneci (originally Comăneci) (born November 12, 1961) is a Romanian- born gymnast, winner of five Olympic gold medals, and the first to be awarded a perfect score of 10 in an Olympic gymnastic event. She is considered by some to be one of the greatest athletes in the 20th century and one of the world's greatest gymnasts of all time. She first competed nationally within Romania in 1970, as a member of her hometown team. She was soon coached by Bela Karolyi and his wife Marta, who would later defect to the United States and become coaches of many great American gymnasts. As a 13-year-old, Comaneci's first major success was at the 1975 European Championships in Skien, Norway, winning three gold medals and one silver. At the Pre- Olympics competition in Montréal in 1975 Nadia won the All-Around title. That same year the Associated Press named her their "Athlete of the Year." At age 14, Comaneci became the star of the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montréal, Québec. Not only did she become the first gymnast at the Olympics to receive the perfect score of ten (which she repeated 6 more times), she also won three gold medals (individual all-around, balance beam and uneven bars), a silver medal (team all-around) and a bronze (floor exercise). Back home, her success led her to be named a "Hero of Socialist Labor," the youngest Romanian to receive that recognition. Nadia had earned 19 perfect scores before Montreal.
