In terms of archival records and sources on the history of #sportscience, the institute at @unimarburg.bsky.social is a very fortunate case. So, it was a pleasure co-editing this issue:

Happy to share some thoughts on #plato, the body and #physicaleducation in this year‘s issue of Nikephoros.

(Learned so much from this journal and still can hardly believe that some of my own reseach has now been published in it…)

Try asking #ChatGPT to generate a picture of a 'sports historian'. You’ll probably get one of three results:

1. looks unintentionally funny
2. overload of problematic 'isms' and categorical assumptions
3. both at once.

AI/ChatGPT generated picture of a sports historian (categories: male, white, able-bodied) who sits in a study filled with historical sports memorabilia. He is wearing glasses, a white shirt, tie and a dark grey knitted jumper. He gazes intently through a magnifying glass at (or slightly over) an old newspaper lying on a wooden desk. Around him are numerous books, trophies, a basketball, an old tennis racket, a typewriter and framed black and white photographs of athletes on the wall. There is a laptop with a cup sitting on it, so that it seems like he rather uses the typewriter. The light falls through a large window, which illuminates the room.
