摘要：This article looks into the view of printed media on Hungarian-born Brazilian naturalized water polo player Aladar Szabo and also on water polo itself in the 1960s. We sought to identify how media relationships contributed to consolidate the mythical player’s image, how sport-related occurrences were narrated, and how printed media participated in the construction of Szabo’s image and its relation with the myth of masculinity. Methodologically speaking, we combined documental and bibliographical research. We found the construction of a violent image of the sport, bringing together facts about the player and his attitudes with the myth of masculinity.
