Voices of survivors: ‘you will not destroy our light’
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The horrors revealed in the Larry Nassar case—the US Olympic Team osteopathic doctor and team physician who sexually abused hundreds of female athletes over decades, are shocking, and it may easily be dismissed as an ‘extreme’ case. Yet it is important to note that certain elements of the Nassar situation shed critical light on the larger problem of how sport abuse can occur. To prevent future abuse, we have a moral obligation to listen to the survivors’ stories who were ignored for so long to understand how we may make sport safe for every athlete. This editorial describes narrative themes1 emerging from 150 victim impact statements heard at Nassar’s sentencing that spoke to elements of sport that facilitated the abuse. One of the most powerful norms that silenced these athletes was that in gymnastics they were taught ‘not to question authority’ and to ‘hide emotions, control [their] feelings and keep a level head’. In many sports, there has traditionally been a pervasive notion that obedience leads to success. But why? Despite the advocacy for athlete-centred or humanist coaching methods, …

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
