Keywords:
Film, Leasure, Athletic Beauty, Olympic Games.Abstract
Our contribution is to present a brief study of the ways in athletic beauty was treated on the big screen from the beginnings to 1936. For this, our study will be based from concepts proposed by Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht at work In Praise of Athletic Beauty (2006). We chose to compose the corpus of analysis a number of documentary movies that have as their theme the Olympic Games in the modern era to 1936.
