Now she is working on a similar project for the women who take home gold in the 2016 Olympics. Fox's ongoing project involves drawing a picture of each of the [female athletes who win gold](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gatorade-x-wnba) at the Olympics. The idea is that when the illustrations are placed side-by-side, the images will reveal range of diversity when it comes to athletic bodies. The idea for the project came about as a way to show that there are many different body types represented at the Olympics and not just the kind associated with highly publicized sports such as beach volleyball and gymnastics. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Body Positive Athletic Representation:** Opportunities for creating more diverse athletic representation and promoting body positivity through art illustrations. - **Diversity and Inclusion in Sports:** Opportunities for sports industry professionals to promote diversity and inclusion by recognizing and celebrating female athletes of all body types. - **Visual Storytelling for Social Awareness:** Opportunities for artists and illustrators to use their skills for social awareness by creating visual representations of diversity and inclusion within sports. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** Opportunities for artists and designers to use their skills to promote body positivity and raise awareness around diversity in sports. - **Sports:** Opportunities for sports industry professionals to advocate for diversity and inclusion by recognizing and promoting athletes of all body types. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Opportunities for marketers and advertisers to leverage body positivity and diversity in sports to promote their products and services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Body-Positive Brand Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doves-super-bowl-ad.md) - [3D-Scanned Sports Statues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sports-statues.md) - [Athlete-Centric Bingo Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/share-your-bingo-moment.md) - [Body Confidence Coaching Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-confident-sport.md) - [Honest Female Athlete Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hillberg-berk1.md) - [Athlete-Centric Beauty Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/athlete-centric-beauty-campaigns.md) - [Female Athlete Nutrition Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/athena-sports-nutrition.md) - [Body Confident Sport Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dove-teams-up-with-kylie-kelce.md) - [Empowering Body-Confidence Sports Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doves-2024-super-bowl.md)
