The European Broadcasting Union partnered with European Athletics to release new guidance for women’s athletics coverage, with broadcasters urged to focus on performance and technical ability.
The guidelines warn against lingering shots of athletes’ bodies, low camera angles that capture revealing views, and slow-motion replays that offer little technical or storytelling value. …
New women’s athletics guidelines crack down on ‘sexualizing’ camera angles
David C. Rehak, MD:
… A gymnast’s wrist is inclined to injuries because many routines (1) place the body’s weight on the wrist while bending it backwards, and (2) often require fast, jolting movements to the wrists and hands. This results in injuries that are both acute, such as fractures, dislocations and sprains, and chronic (long-term).
Most acute gymnastic injuries are treated like any other sport injuries, however, two chronic injuries, dorsal wrist impingement and distal radial stress fractures, require specific treatment. …
The issue for coaches is whether or not to encourage athletes with chronic pain to use dorsal-wrist-block supports like Tiger Paws or the Ezy ProBrace.
Conventional wisdom is to delay using wrist bracing as long as possible. To take them off when possible. And to specifically strengthen the wrists to handle the impact.
Some girls simply like colourful accessories. 😀
