Abstract
Coverage of women's sports during the Olympic Games is about as good as it gets. On the world's largest and most important sports stage, media attention to women's sports jumps to levels well above the mainstream's usual fare that prioritizes men's sports and relegates female athletes and their sports to the sidelines. The sports media are now well recognized for the substantial role they play in shaping opinion, reinforcing the status quo, framing attitudes and reproducing images and messages that legitimate the dominant ideology of a society.
