Using a holistic, social scientific approach, and emphasizing the rhetoric of sport mediatization, \u003ci\u003eFemale Olympians\u003c\/i\u003e reviews the literature relative to sexism, racism, and ageism before providing historical, political, economic, and socio-cultural perspectives  such as the gendered language of Olympic reportage, religious considerations, women’s bodies relative to their training for the Games, drugs and doping, and female Paralympians.
