In the early twenty-first century, sports in Peru – as in many other countries – are a pervasive presence in the written and visual media, the subject of specialist magazines and television programmes and a significant part of all news programming. Over the course of recent decades, when male sporting success has been limited, most notably in football, public interest in female sporting figures has increased significantly since women have consistently enjoyed victories on the global stage. Leading exponents of various sports are public figures, leading high-profile marketing campaigns and serving to draw together diverse sectors of the nation when international successes are achieved, while a number of women have found a route into national politics via sport. As it is one of the most widely encountered modes of representation of the body, this article will consider the manner in which the female sporting body in Peru has come to constitute one of the dominant visual modes of women's corporeal presence in the country, and analyse the ways in which such representations may offer a route to agency as they conform to or contest contemporary political and cultural ideologies
