It was an absolute mayhem of mockery, criticism, and heated debate after the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and European Athletics announced their new guidelines on how female athletes are filmed.
The two organizations released a 23-page document titled Raising the Bar, outlining how photographers and videographers should capture female track and field athletes during broadcasts to avoid overly revealing or suggestive footage.
The news sparked a heated discussion online, with one saying, “Earlier, very few people used to watch women athletics, now no one will watch it.”
