About 100 years ago, in 1909, the Danish medical doctor Johannes Lindhard became associate professor, and in 1917 professor, of the theory of gymnastics at the University of Copenhagen. Lindhard's collaboration with the physiologist and 1920 Nobel Prize winner August Krogh (1874Krogh ( -1949 laid the foundation for the birth of exercise physiology in Scandinavia. In addition to his basic-level studies of physiology, Lindhard also became deeply involved in developing a theory of gymnastics that would bring a wide range of Danish gymnastics traditions onto a surer theoretical footing. Lindhard's importance in the history of gymnastics is mainly attributable to the fact that he had a huge influence in the 'gendering' of the behavioural codes of conduct and the formulation of a gender-specific movement programme aimed at the socialisation of boys and girls as well as men and women in accordance with the new gender roles of the emerging capitalist society with its strict division of education and labour between the two sexes. Lindhard clearly supported 'difference-feminism' in contrast to 'resemblance-feminism'.These two concepts of femininity clashed in a fierce struggle in the inter-war period. Advocates of women's athletics interpreted competitive sports as perfect tools for women's conquest of male territory, whereas supporters of female gymnastics considered athletics to be an antidote to the health-promoting and graceful essence of femininity. Agnete Bertram was one of Lindhard's first students at the Laboratory for the Physiology of Gymnastics and in the 1920 she created a new graceful women's gymnastics system based on Lindhard's principles. Besides taking its inspiration from Lindhard's notions of psycho-aesthetics, Bertram's system was immersed in ancient Greek influences and was sometimes performed in Greek robes in the neo-classic building of the Carlsberg foundation to the accompaniment of classical music such as Mozart's sonata in A-major. This was well suited to the bourgeois women in their roles as aesthetic domestic angels.

“…In sport history research there has been written biographies on prominent sport personalities, as the biography on the Danish Niels Bukh (Bonde, 2001a(Bonde, 2001b) and the grounding father of the Olympic Games, Pierre de Coubertin (MacAloon, 1981). Further, the biography has been discussed as an empirical source for documentation of sport of the past (Bale et al, 2004;Naess, 1998;Sparkes, 1997;Ambjörnsson et al, 1997).…”

Commercialisation of emotions is not a new phenomenon (Hochschild, 1983) but in Denmark there is a new general trend to tell and sell personal stories in the media. Personal deprivation and crises are also major topics in sports media. This paper focuses on sports biographies as a book genre that is reviving in popularity. The paper approaches the topic through the biographies of one Danish athlete: the former professional cyclist, Jesper Skibby, who writes about his doping disclosure and shares his personal dilemmas as a former elite sportsman. The thematic text analysis orientates around social interactions, emotions and personality constructions. Inspired by micro sociology with a Durkheimian flavor of Goffman (1967) and Hochschild (1983Hochschild ( , 2003, themes including 'face work', 'interaction rituals' and 'emotions management' are discussed. The analysis claims that sharing personal information in the media is not only a means of confession and reclaiming status but is also business and management -on an intimate level. Telling the story of the corrosion of a sporting character has become a hot issue, entertainment and not least a commercial commitment.
