LUCUMI BALANTA, Yanet. WOMEN CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE SOCIOCULTURAL STEREOTYPES OF COLOMBIAN SPORT. rev.udcaactual.divulg.cient. [online]. 2012, vol.15, suppl.1, pp.27-35. ISSN 0123-4226.
The participation of women in sport in Colombia has been framed by different socio-cultural stereotypes, which has been transformed throughout history, incentivizing women to connect in this activity from different sport roles, such as administrative tasks, integrating scientific medical teams, and as active sportswoman, among others. Women participating in the Olympics games prove their potential, empowerment and sports memorabilia, thus contradicting the negative collective imagination to it as the weaker sex. Therefore the research question is: how does a woman contributes to Colombian sports and by means of what activity, does she add to the transformation of cultural stereotypes, due to her participation in the Olympics? The Colombian Olympic sport woman contributes due to her participation in the Olympic Games, demonstrating with positive results, that she is capable to overcome all obstacles that are interposed in her goals (Olympic dreams). Therefore, she transforms the stereotypes by pointing out, that if you are interested in sport from different roles, performing them well, achieving medals or occupying significant positions, she will become an example for other women.
