Competing and Again: Challenging the cultural narrative of women and sports through video portraiture Older athletes are not typically seen or heard in the dominant sport discourse, but instead marginalized in an individualistic culture that reveres eternal youth. Each woman’s video portrait expands the narrative of what it means to be an athlete and what’s possible in the later years of life. https://competingandaging.com
