The Swiss Gymnastics Federation has banned photographers from taking “suggestive” photos of gymnasts.
that the Swiss federation will ban sports photographers from shooting pictures of gymnasts in poses which have them spreading their legs upwards.“To protect gymnasts, the STV strives to ensure that no suggestive or otherwise ethically sensitive photos are published and passed on. Especially photos where gymnasts were photographed in the crotch,” STV states in its updated guidelines.
According to STV’s new guidelines, photographs of gymnasts in a position that sees their legs spread upwards, such as on a balance beam or uneven bars, will be banned. Naomi Kempter, who works in the Ethics Department at STV, says the photography ban is essential and should have been imposed sooner to protect gymnasts from sensitive images.
The German Gymnastics Federation says it has “adjusted” positions in which photographers can stand in order to prevent photos taken with the gymnast’s legs spread — such as directly in front of an athlete.
