Abstract

The conveying of nationalism through sports mediation is a phenomenon vastly observed in sociology. International championships become a showcase for a world divided into nations, in which athletes become the standard-bearer for their country and in which unbridled emotions connect their compatriots with the competition. In this paper, we analyze the coverage of nine Spanish newspapers of the seven gold medals won by Spanish athletes at the Rio Games in order to spot the possible presence of nationalist discourse and the discursive variables that make it up. By using an exhaustive coding system, we were able to detect and break down this story into three lines: national logic, the construction of difference, and the dramatization of sport.
