Sažetak
Sport is uppermost constructed in the mass media as a male domain. Extensive research into media representations of sport has pointed to the dominance of gender as a framing device (Wensing & Bruce, 2003). In this paper we will put focus on how media reproduces, legitimates, and challenges gender ideology, using the case of Tina Maze, former Slovenian World Cup alpine ski racer and two-time Olympic gold medal winner. The public picture of Tina Maze was a battle of masculinity against femininity. When she was winning, media described her as “gladiating Maze” ; when she was not good enough, they pointed out her woman’s nature calling her just “Tina”. In our paper we have used Wensing and Bruce (2003) five key techniques or unwritten rules employed by the media to suggest appropriate femininity (gender marking, compulsory heterosexuality, emphasize appropriate femininity, infantilization and non-sport related aspects). In analyzing different narratives which media produced, content analysis and discourse analysis have been implemented in the sample of all articles that were published in three Slovenian newspapers (Dnevnik, Delo and Ekipa) during three seasons, from 2013 till 2015, when she retired.
