Abstract
This thesis is a study of a contemporary space at the University of Toronto: The Goldring Centre for High Performance Sport (GCHPS). The motto for the GCHPS was “Pursue (your) Greatness”. I explored the ways in which greatness may be connected to the research and practices of the exercise sciences, sports medicine, and athletics. I drew on the theoretical insights of Lefebvre (1991), and scholars of space and sport (e.g., Pronger, 2001; Atkinson, 2009; van Ingen, 2003; Fusco, 2005). I explain the Centre’s ties to the University’s institutional vision for academic and athletic excellence, as well as the provincial and federal government’s investment in sport. I argue that this production is tied to legacies of classism, whiteness, and scientific knowledge/power, and is neglectful of the interests of the broader university community. I conclude by suggesting that scholars must be critical of the socio-cultural and political aspects of spaces and disciplines.

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 it
