La nouvelle dimension du sport féminin (1952-années 2000)

Une histoire des Jeux Olympiques : 50 ans pour un rattrapage de parité. (lire l’article précédent)

Ayant acquis à partir de 1928 des droits plus étendus pour concourir aux Jeux Olympiques, sans être à égalité en nombre avec les messieurs, les sportives donnent, après la seconde guerre mondiale, une nouvelle dimension au sport féminin. Certaines entrent dans la légende pour la première pierre qu’elles apportent à l’édifice. Auréolée à Tokyo (1964), Christine Caron est la première française à être porte-drapeau d’une délégation ou Colette Besson est titrée sur 400 m (1968) alors que la gymnaste tchèque Vera Caslavska est consacrée par un septième titre. En 1976, Nadia Comaneci est la première gymnaste à obtenir 10 la note parfaite. (1984) Neroli Fairhall est la première athlète non-valide à se qualifier pour les Jeux Olympiques. Barcelone (1992) voit briller l’américaine Trischa Zorn, nageuse aveugle, qui devient la plus titrée des athlètes non-valides avec un cumul de 55 médailles ; Marie-José Perec remporte le 400 m et remet ça à Atlanta (1996) où Laura Flessel est titrée en escrime et Jeannie Longo en cyclisme pour son éternelle longévité. Il faudra attendre 2012 pour que Nicola Adams, première médaillée en boxe, mette fin aux préjugés d’un sport longtemps estampillé masculin. Héritage du passé, la Fondation Alice Milliat est depuis 2016, la première fondation européenne dédiée au sport féminin, née d’une volonté d’améliorer la médiatisation des sports féminins. A côté de ces avancées, nos deux historiens soulignent des revers de la médaille : on ne le sait que depuis la chute du rideau de fer (1991), de nombreuses femmes ont été exploitées pour devenir des championnes otages de la propagande des régimes soviétiques. Victimes physiquement et psychologiquement, certaines ont fui et dénoncé les méthodes, d’autres ont rendu leur médaille. La contribution de nos athlètes régionales aux Jeux renvoie à la diversité de l’offre sportive féminine : Anne Caroline Chausson en BMX (2008), Léa Ferney tennis de table adapté (2021). En conclusion, le chemin de ce qui est pareil, est une longue course : alors qu’il n’y avait que 4 sports sur 22 ouverts aux femmes en 1920, on passe à 7 sur 15 en 1928, puis 11 sports sur 21 en 1978 et 25 sur 29 à Sydney (2000). La part des femmes qui n’est que d’un tiers à Atlanta (1996) atteint 48 % à Tokyo. La parité c’est pour Paris 2024. En conclusion, il aura fallu un siècle pour rattraper la parité aux Jeux Olympiques.

Michael Phelps, the most successful Olympic athlete has won 28 medals in swimming.

Trischa Zorn, the most successful Paralympic athlete? 55. Also in swimming.  

Okay so I'm cross and I'm gonna talk about it on here.

So this morning I woke up and saw a news story that Duncan Scott has become Britain's most successful athlete at a single Olympic Games, winning one gold and three silvers. And good for him.

But in the 2012 Paralympic Games, Dame Sarah Storey won four golds.

If you ask Brit's who their most successful Olympian is, they'll say Sir Chris Hoy. He won nine Olympic golds over the course of his career, and retired after the 2012 Olympic games. I watched his final race with my heart in my mouth and I was overjoyed when he got that final gold. It's a moment I'll remember for the rest of my life.

Sarah Storey has fourteen gold medals. She is a six times national track champion, able-bodied.

On her Wikipedia page, it's says Britain's most successful female Paralympian. She's not just Britain's most successful female Paralympian. She's Britain's most successful Paralympian, period. Across two sports as well, swimming and cycling.

I'm sick of disabled athletes being excluded from the conversation. I'm sick of the achievements of female athletes and disabled athletes being seen as lesser than their able-bodied/male counterparts. Mostly I'm sick that Dame Sarah Storey isn't a household name in Britain, when she is an incredible human being.

Maybe I'm biased, because she grew up in the same village as me. We went to the same primary, high school and college. After the 2012 Olympics, our village started a yearly cycling festival. There's a statue of a bike in the village square, dedicated to her.

I've met her several times, and she is wonderful.

She nodded at my dad when he was out riding his bike and she was training, and he still talks about it. It made his entire year.

I just think more people should know about Dame Sarah Storey: Britain's most successful athlete.
