Olympic broadcasters curb sexual images of female athletes

Extreme heat is the latest challenge for Tokyo Olympics athletes and may cause rescheduling of outdoor events.TOKYO -- At an Olympics aiming to set the highest level of television standards, the head of broadcasting at the Tokyo Games is trying to banish overly sexualized images of female athletes.

That can be difficult with state-of-the-art technology filming sports — such as beach volleyball, gymnastics, swimming and track — where female athletes' uniforms can be scant and skimpy.against uniforms they believe exploit their sexuality by competing in Tokyo wearing unitards that covered their legs to the ankle.

“What we can do is to make sure that our coverage does not highlight or feature in any particular way what people are wearing,” Exarchos said.to steer all Olympic sports and their rights holders toward “gender-equal and fair” broadcasts of their events. Advice includes “do not focus unnecessarily on looks, clothing or intimate body parts” and reframing or deleting a “wardrobe malfunction ... to respect the integrity of the athlete.

“It’s really biased when it comes to gender,” said Naoko Imoto, who swam for Japan at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and now works for UNICEF, the United Nations children’s rights agency.

Block the players out on screen, bodies and faces then. Only show ball going back and forth... that should solve it!

I say it’s something with everything, something is going on in this world, people are complaining about every single thing everywhere, and I know who did it and his name is Reeeedddd Harry!!!

Should have been the case from the beginning

Don’t dream of winning, train for it! — Mo Farah

The ratings that bad?

This sounds pretty sexist. These women are empowered! This culture is ridiculous lol First they want to make women sexual objects then get offended by it lol

The girls need to wear few clothes to enhance their flexibility!

wow

It's bullshit that the men wear shorts and tank tops and the women have to wear basically a bikini.

If there was a drinking game for every rear crotch shot of the female volleyball teams, I’d still be passed out from yesterday.

The original Olympians wore nothing at all. But I guess they were silly fools.

I need some equality! We have the men wearing more material in their uniforms than 2 women’s teams put together!! equality

as we show gratuitous butt shots of women volleyball players for this article

Let them wear clothes instead of underwear.make the men wear the same uniform as the women.

Maybe they should start by allowing female athletes to actually wear clothes when they compete. 🤔

I’ve been saying that for years. What did bikinis have to do with playing volleyball?

what's wrong with watching naked fit girls play ball? i don't see any fat ones like you do in football out there jumping around. kinda nice

Every image is oversexualized if they’re all wearing bikinis.

Great Move.

There must be another Olympics going on at the same in Tokyo.

Sad that talent has to be destroyed by immodest dress. I won't watch, and I'm female. Just make me feel uncountable to see sports protituded by sporting guer.

Let them wear shorts Olympics

Hold on I’m almost finished!!

Literally just got the back view of a volleyball player from directly back for several seconds. They can wear short shorts like they do in Indoor

The woke culture is destroying everything, and to be honest I think even regular liberals getting sick of it as well...

But make women wear bikinis 😡

I wonder what they wear on a normal day at the beach?

You'd think Japan of all horny places would be cool with it

good luck with that

nice

Pink Class act.

THE VIDEO DEMOCRATS DON’T WANT YOU TO SEE!! BIDEN FreeSpeech

'Good on ya' is an Australian expression. Good on you, Pink!

I might be wrong but didn't you dress all nasty? Maybe I'm mistaking.

Thank you , damned perverts wanna see and photo ass
