The aim of this study is to examine how men and women are portrayed in sports in television and to get the answer to whether it is equal or not between the genders. The question examined is: Which stereotypical portrayals of men and women were noticed in the tv-show Superstars? Which stereotypical portrayals in the tv-show Superstars are masculine and feminine? By using a qualitative content analysis and two categories: words and expressions and behavior and context, the author studied one season to find differences. The findings showed that men and women portrayed their opposites. The men were portrayed as sensitive and the women were portrayed as tough in the category: words and expressions. The category: behavior and context showed that both men and women were portrayed as fearful. This result shows that it was equal between the genders.
