The problem of eating disorders in sport have come to light and now most sports offer an enjoyable experience which is healthy.I think more should have been done in this case and christy's coaches should have realised the danger of her eating disorder.

Wasn't it just a case of the Russians are ahead and we have to push push push till we catch up. If a girl wants to have a healthy life would she not be better taking up yoga or volleyball. It may be very difficult to find more dishonest people than the coachesand parents of gymnasts. The culture doesnt exist and are we not dishonest to pretend it does. Everytime i venture close to the gymnastic world the dishonesty is very apparent as evidenced by extreme privacy, and speeded up bound together reflexes which never flow just movement forcing movement dreams that are never triggered .Gymnastics leaves girls with lives of bitterness and anger and a feeling of never being what they thought they could be i dont think the gymnastics culture really exists at all in the US as something enjoyable and healthy like it has in Europe for hundreds of years.
