What Carly Patterson said about eating

I have to disagree a bit here. Those gymnast girls, while appearing healthy body-wise, are not developing like other girls their age, due to the amount of muscle they have acquired at such a young age. This really takes a toll on hormones. I also don't think Svetlana Khorkina looks that unhealthy. At just under 5'4", she stands about 6" taller than those other girls so her weight is more distributed than theirs.

anyone remember what happened to Nadia Comaneci? perfect scores in the Olympics. 4'10" at the time. full height 5'7". and after she won all those medals she stopped training and gained so much weight she couldn't lift herself onto a balance beam if she tried.

the whole idea of such hard training makes me nervous.
