Do stable families at the “top” of the popular space produce more champions than the most fragile ones? Within this popular group, do female elites stand out for the volume and prestige of their productions? According to what principles? Based on a survey conducted in France in the Pays de la Loire region among 768 female athletes labelled “high level”, this article offers an original look at the elite sporting space.

But on the other, it is ultimately very permeable to the working classes and thus constitutes a place of “unexpected” profits for young girls from modest backgrounds. These profits are not limited to sports and can also translate into unexpected academic success.Cet article se fixe pour ambition d’analyser, auprès d’une cohorte de jeunes femmes reconnues de haut niveau, les effets de leurs appartenances aux diverses fractions des classes populaires sur leurs trajectoires sportives. Les franges stabilisées de l’espace populaire fabriquent-elles plus de championnes que les familles les plus fragilisées ? Dans cet ensemble populaire, les élites féminines se distinguent-elles les unes des autres du point de vue du volume et du prestige de leurs productions ? Selon quels principes ? Sur la base d’une enquête réalisée en région Pays de la Loire auprès de 768 sportives étiquetées de « haut niveau », cet article propose un regard original sur l’espace des sports d’élite, qui, s’il maintient et reproduit l’ordre social, est finalement très perméable aux classes populaires et en cela le lieu de profits importants pour des jeunes filles d’origines modestes, y compris du point de vue des parcours scolaires qu’elles conduisent en parallèle de leurs engagements sportifs.Cairn free access
