The differences in salaries between female and male athletes are the subject that was mainly neglected throughout history. By spreading and popularization of women's sports, efforts of athletes, and numerous actions and activities, it came to the situation that women's sports if often talked about. Finally, it is time to talk about the differences in salaries between female and male athletes. You do not have to do big research to coclude that today male athletes earn far more money than female ones. Throughout history the common opinion was established that sports are primarily meant for men, so women were discriminated against from the very beginning. By gradually including to sports and by today's big expansion of women's sports, the question of unequal payment in sports arises. Most of the sports still generate far more money in male's competition than in the female's. So, if you look at this problem from that perspective, it seems clear why men are paid better. But, in this Master's thesis, it has been analyzed why is the current situation like that and why are men's sports much more represented in the media than women's. The reasons are also given for the historically unfair view of sports like something that is exclusively meant for men. For the purpose of this Master's thesis, journalists of the sports section of newspaper Slobodna Dalmacija gave their opinion, looking back at the representation of women's sports in media, as well as the differences in salaries between female and male athletes. I also contacted the vice-president of the Croatian olympic committee and president of the Croatian judo federation dr. sc. Sanda Čorak.
