Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • Chris Stride, a statistician from the University of Sheffield, highlights the disparity in statues, with fewer than 5 honoring sporting women compared to over 350 for men.
  • Stride leads the From Pitch to Plinth: the Sporting Statues project, documenting sports statues globally for 14 years.
  • The project uncovers fascinating stories behind statues, offering insight into societal values and sports marketing as a tool for community identity.
  • Sports statues are often found in smaller towns, reflecting a desire to reclaim identity in places that lost traditional industries.
  • Stride notes the challenges in sculpting accurate representations of athletes, explaining why many statues, like those of Harry Kane, often fail to capture their subjects properly.
