ABSTRACT This article examines the role and value of defiance in sport. I argue that defiance is a virtue in sport and make a case for it as a spirited and praiseworthy way of counteracting burdened conditions. To do this, I distinguish between three forms of defiance: 1) ascetic defiance as persistent practising to overcome limits and outdo difficulty, 2) agonistic defiance as intensified efforts to counteract and overcome opponents, and 3) rebellious defiance as counteracting unjust authority. These describe ways in which athletes can counteract burdens in sport, and for each dimension, I present examples from sport to illustrate the relevance of defiance for this particular area. I conclude that defiance is at the heart of the sporting practice and that it is virtuous when enacted towards the right things, at the right time, in the right way and towards the right ends. I round off by briefly pointing to areas for further studies of defiance in sport.

运动中的反抗

摘要本文探讨了反抗在体育运动中的作用和价值。我认为，反抗是体育运动中的一项美德，因此应作为反抗沉重负担条件的一种充满活力和值得赞扬的方式加以证明。为此，我区分了三种形式的反抗：1）禁欲主义是为克服极限和克服困难而坚持不懈的练习； 2）激动性反抗为对抗和克服对手的加倍努力； 3）叛逆性反抗是对不起不公正的权威。这些描述了运动员抵消运动负担的方式，并且针对每个方面，我都以运动为例，以说明对这一特定领域的反抗的相关性。我的结论是，蔑视是体育实践的核心，在正确的时间，正确的时机做出正确的反抗是有道理的，以正确的方式并朝着正确的方向前进。最后，我简要指出需要进一步研究运动中的反抗领域。
