I also survey the development of sport studies, situating my research within almost a century of scholarship on play, games and sport. I account for these developments with an overarching interest in continuity and change, considering the processes and events that deliver particular historical moments, and the ways in which the past becomes a resource for the future. Throughout, I explore relationships between people, practices, ideas, material objects and formal organizations. In so doing, I draw on classical oppositions within social theory and the study of sport, such as structure and agency, or ritual and record. These contradictions serve as productive tensions, enabling and enriching one another, and framing the specific transformations of times, spaces and bodies that I document. Lastly, I conclude by offering some commentary on sport as it relates to play, routine practice and modernity, arguing that for those who chase giants, both their work and their world remains unfinished. This thesis is original, unpublished, independent work by the author, Sarah Elizabeth Jacobs. Fieldwork was approved by Ethics Certificate number REB18-0578, issued on August 01, 2018, by the University of Calgary Conjoint Faculties Research Ethics Board for the project titled, “Moral Fiber and Muscle Fiber: The Social Production of High-Performance Speed Skaters” Acknowledgements There are many people who supported and spurred this project. First among them, Dr. Charles Mather, who served as my supervisor and sounding board, and whose wit and creativity helped me see things in new ways. Thank you. And thank you to the other members of my supervisory committee, Drs. Sabrina Perić and Doyle Hatt, whose sound advice and thoughtful questions directed my research to better places, and to Drs. Ariel Ducey and Thomas Carter, who graciously agreed to serve as examiners. This research would not have been possible without the generosity of my study participants. I am indebted to the people at the Olympic Oval. No athlete will skate faster or train better because of what I’ve written. But I hope that those who read this will come to appreciate the dedication, fun, and agony that develops athletes. And I hope I have done justice to their joys and their struggles. Lastly, I wish to acknowledge the family and friends whose patience, support, and reassurances sustained me along the way. I am grateful to my parents for all that they have done to deliver me to this moment. And to Ali and Ben, my biggest supporters. You had to put up with me and my odd work hours, especially near the end. Without you, this wouldn’t have been possible.

  • Le Canada & Les Jeux Olympiques D‟Hiver „En Bref‟
    Le Canada & les Jeux Olympiques d‟hiver „En bref‟ Introduction Le 12 février 2010, Vancouver sera la ville hôte des XXIes Jeux Olympiques d’hiver, elle accueillera les athlètes du monde et ceux du Canada. Cette célébration marquera un nouveau chapitre dans la longue et riche histoire de la participation canadienne aux Jeux d’hiver. Le Comité Olympique Canadien a envoyé des athlètes à toutes les éditions des Jeux Olympiques d’hiver et James Merrick, membre du Comité International Olympique (CIO) au Canada, fut un supporter passionné de l’idée de créer des Jeux d’hiver séparés. Lorsque la « Semaine de sports d’hiver », qui devait plus tard être reconnue rétroactivement par le CIO comme les premiers Jeux Olympiques d’hiver, eut lieu à Chamonix (France), du 25 janvier au 5 février 1924, un petit groupe de Canadiens étaient présents pour écrire les débuts de cette histoire. Les sports et les disciplines que pratiquent les Canadiens Aux Iers Jeux Olympiques d‟hiver, les hommes canadiens participèrent à trois des neuf sports et disciplines au programme : patinage de vitesse, hockey sur glace et patinage artistique. L’équipe canadienne de patinage de vitesse se composait d’un athlète : Charles Gorman. La délégation féminine était également limitée puisqu’elle ne comptait que Cecil Eustace. Eustace concourut en patinage artistique, dans l’épreuve individuelle et avec Melville Rogers dans l’épreuve par couple. Le programme olympique et la délégation canadienne se sont grandement développés au cours des vingt éditions des Jeux d’hiver célébrés jusqu’à présent. Aux XXes Jeux Olympiques d‟hiver à Turin en 2006, les athlètes canadiens ont pris part à l’ensemble des 15 sports et disciplines pour les hommes et aux 13 pour les femmes figurant au programme.

  • Final Consultation on Sport England's Strategy
    January 2021 Final Consultation on Sport England’s strategy: Phase 1 Summary report prepared for consultation participants britainthinks.com BritainThinks | Private and Confidential Introduction In January 2021, Sport England will be publishing its new strategy, outlining its vision for the future of sport and physical activity in England. Over the past 18 months, Sport England has been holding conversations with a wide range of partners and other stakeholders to co-produce a framework for the new strategy. BritainThinks, an independent insight and strategy consultancy, was commissioned to run a final consultation on the emerging strategy. This final consultation is split over two phases: • Phase 1 (November – December 2020): testing the emerging strategy • Phase 2 (January – March 2021): shaping implementation plans Phase 1 of the consultation included the following elements: • A series of structured activities on an online platform, used to capture individual views of the strategy over a 4-week period. Following this, open forums were launched to continue conversations on the strategy between participants. • A series of 5 ‘live’ online workshops with a range of stakeholders, each focused on one of the priority themes in the strategy. • Weekly webinars which shared some emerging findings from Phase 1 of the consultation with participating stakeholders. • Research with the general public, through focus groups, depth interviews and a nationally-representative online survey, to explore attitudes to sport and physical activity and obtain feedback on the priority areas in the strategy. In addition, Sport England continued to have ongoing conversations with partners during this time. This note provides a short summary of the high-level findings from Phase 1 of the consultation.

  • Winter Olympics Code Breaker
    Winter Olympics Code Breaker Amazing Winter Olympic Stories • In the 1988 Winter Olympics, Jamaica entered its first team in the bobsleigh, which was amazing as they had to practise without snow in Jamaica! It was such a great story that it inspired the 1993 film ‘Cool Runnings’. • From 1929 until 1988, Team GB had no ski jumpers; that was until Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards came along in the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Canada. He came last but was a British ski jump record holder, going on to become a TV personality and stunt skier. In 2016, the film ‘Eddie the Eagle’ was released telling his story. • Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean are two of Team GB’s most famous Winter Olympic stars, having won the gold medal in 1984 with their ‘Bolero’ ice dance. They were world champions three times, British Champions seven times and both have MBEs. They now underpin the TV show ‘Dancing on Ice’. Challenge Solve the maths calculations on the following pages to spell out some Winter Olympic sports, the names of some Team GB athletes and locations of past Winter Olympics using the code below: A B C D E F G H I J K L M 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 You might also want to find out: • where the 2022 Winter Olympics will be held; • how many different sports are included in the Winter Olympics; • when snowboarding was first introduced to the Winter Olympics.
