EBU has new guidelines on how to film when filming a barely clothed woman athlete

EBU is European Broadcasting Union.
So, no more of those pervy YouTube comment sections where the most upvoted comment says "Men of culture, we meet again" and the second most upvoted comment says "Dad, who won. We all won son, we all did."
Anyway, I'm not sure how they'll really be able to film beach volleyball or even pole vaulting. Those women's "uniforms" will show a lot regardless of what angles the cameraman films from. And, let's face it, that's the only reason why anybody ever watches women's volleyball or pole vaulting.

Quotes from the document:

Anyway, lol at how they act like anybody cares about these women's athletic prowess.
quote:
The sexualization of women athletes through selective
camera angles and editing choices continues to be a
significant concern across many sports broadcasts.
Lingering shots on bodies, low-angle cameras that capture
revealing views, and excessive slow-motion replays that
serve no technical or storytelling purpose are among
the issues observed in the media coverage of women’s
athletics competitions today.
These choices carry profound implications. They shape
audience perception by diverting attention from the
remarkable achievements and technical skills of women
athletes, and risk perpetuating harmful stereotypes.

Men will always want to see fit women. It's biology.

And you are insane if you think that men are going to keep watching women's volleyball because they are just into the competition

Can they release guidelines that force people to film worldstar type shite horizontally instead of vertically?

Have you watched volleyball? Aside from track, it's the best women's sport. Amazing play every play. Only behind football and basketball for excitement.

That coach looks like Bill Clinton did 10 years ago. Nowadays, Bill Clinton pretty much looks like shite (even for a near octogenerian) whenever he appears in public, and it seems like he's probably too sickly to still do pervy stuff anymore.

Buncha weirdos even writing about this.

Are they going to start making female gymnasts perform in loose warmups?
Posted on 7/14/26 at 10:58 am to UFFan
As long as they don't film WNBA games like this I'm good with it.

What is the harmful stereotype? That women are attractive?

How do you film a sportswoman so the footage honours her power and skill rather than undermining it? Raising the Bar sets out practical guidelines for respectful camera work in women's athletics, drawing on real broadcast examples and the first-hand experiences of Olympic competitors Holly Bradshaw, Ivana Španovic and Blanka Vlašic. It shows how the angles that best capture technique and emotion are often the very same ones that treat athletes with dignity.
This is not a list of restrictions. Across high jump, pole vault, horizontal jumps and running events, the report demonstrates how the most compromising shots can be avoided with no loss of storytelling or visual quality. Whether you direct a major production or work with a small crew, it offers a clear, shared standard for broadcasters, directors, camera operators and the athletes they cover.

Thank you for stating what EBU stood for right from the start.

Definitely amazing

There is nothing making these women dress that way. They are free to dress however they want. Many do it intentionally to enhance their marketability/earning potential. In short this shouldn't be an issue.
