New broadcast guidelines aim to prevent sexualisation of female athletes

The European Broadcasting Union has released new camera guidelines for broadcasters covering live female athletics events, developed with input from athletes.

• The EBU issued a set of 'do's and don'ts' for camera angles, including avoiding low-angle shots underneath athletes in high jump and pole vault.
• Olympic bronze medalist Holly Bradshaw said she has received abuse and seen inappropriate videos of herself online due to revealing camera angles during competitions.
• Long jumper Ivana Spanovic said certain cameras cause discomfort during events and can have serious long-term effects on athletes' mental health.
