Based on the theoretical-methodological contribution of the Oral History, two interviews given by Léa Linhares were analyzed. Both interviews were collated with other sources, such as pictures, reports and institutional documents. From the analysis of the empiric material, four understandings of the meaning of judo to that fighter have emerged: opening paths to personal development; expanding spaces for female participation in sports in times of struggles and hidden prejudices; creating self-defense mechanisms against violence; acknowledging the presence of women in the police staff in Rio Grande do Sul. Léa was the first black belt in the south of Brazil, but this achievement was not acknowledged by the Brazilian Sports Confederation. This caused her to quit judo, and consequences were felt along her lifetime. |
