The Touchy Topic of Gymnasts and Body Weight, Eating Disorders and Nutrition (Part 2 of 4)
May 22, 2013, 3:39pm
I received this email from a former gymnast… (name has been changed) Hi Rita, My name is Allison and I am 18 years old. I have since quit gymnastics, largely due to body weight issues. I had always been a generally healthy eater and at a healthy weight. When some drama went down at my gym I was feeling extra pressure to improve and was sucked into the “thin is in” mindset. I lost 20 pounds from my already slight 5’1’’ frame and then everything went downhill. I could hardly make it though practice, but would...

About 11 years ago, when Jordyn first began competitive gymnastics, someone recommended I read the book “Little Girls in Pretty Boxes”. Written by sports writer Joan Ryan, this nonfiction book, derived from personal interviews with almost 100 former gymnasts and figure skaters, detailed stories of elite gymnasts and figure skaters and their difficult training regimens. The book touched on eating disorders, weakened bones, stunted growth, debilitating and fatal injuries, depression, low self-esteem, and more. It was basically a book...

As gymnasts, we are taught at a very young age to get back up after a fall and keep going! As humans, it is natural to fall and get discouraged, and commonly, even to quit. Gymnastics is a tough sport. There is definitely a lot of room to fall on a daily basis. At practice, we are even taught how to fall properly. I remember while learning a Jaeger, getting yelled at over and over because I would put my elbows under me on the big cushy mat that would catch me. I was told to purposely not re-catch the bar and fall with my arms in front of me. I...

Ok, I’ll admit it. I didn’t think there was any way LSU could beat Florida. Seriously, Florida has 2008 Olympian/2009 World Champion BRIDGET SLOAN for crying out loud. They have KYTRA!! MACKO and ALAINA are on their team!! After last year’s close call, many believe this is finally the year the Gators will break through and win the NCAA championship. Last Friday night (11-Jan-2013) at the Maravich Center, as the teams warmed up, I admit I almost exclusively focused on Florida. I couldn’t help it. Don’t get me wrong...

The Penn State Nittany Lions women’s gymnastics team performed impressively at the 2nd annual Blue White Showcase last Friday, December 14th in Rec Hall. PSU’s top all-around gymnast, senior Sharaya Musser, who has qualified to the National Championships each year since 2010, looked in shape and ready for the regular season. On vault, she performed her new Yurchenko one-and-a-half. The vault was clean and tight in the air, and the landing was under control with only one minor step. If Musser plans to throw that vault at Nationals an...
