This study aims to explore the perception of Lahore-based female athletes about the representation of female athletes in sportsmedia. Body image in every person’s mind is different but because of the media people have a mindset that all we see inmedia is smart, thin, and curvy bodies. Female athlete’s body image is not only looking thin, slim, or curvy but after doing thespecific sport exercise the body starts looking masculine. Socio-cultural norms become a judgmental criterion about femalebodies. Whereas media objectifies females that is if a person is slim, thin, or curvy that is a perfect body that is how a woman should look. For this, researchers conduct interviews of ten female athletes of national and international levels to know their perception of the representation of females on sports media. These ten females were chosen with convenient sampling and asemi-structured interview was conducted which was divided into four themes: The manly body of female athletes, representationof female athletes in media, Female athletes as ordinary women, and Long-term Effects on the body. The results reveal thatmedia representation is biased and media objectifies women and focuses on their bodies as compared to their performance.In Pakistani it is s cultural issue for athlete female to look straight. The curviness or softness of the body is associated withfemininity. Masculinity in the body of female athletes is considered as a body damage and it affects the career of female athletes.
