what is with that one mum who is constantly competing with everyone else, it's the daughters that are competing, so WHAT if someone else's is doing well, not much you can do about their hard work and dedication
@ShawnaLovesPenguins if shes starving herself then yes, her mom has a right to force feed her. it doesnt matter if shes a gymnist. she needs to eat to get energy
@saturdaysghost I think when people wonder if deafness effects her it's because the inner ear effects your balance. That's what vertigo ( dizziness ) is caused by, inner ear fluid levels. So if she can't hear her balance could be effected.
@JESSsuckItTV Well, I have Meniere's disease, so I happen to know that there are TWO nerves in the inner ear and that the inner ear has TWO jobs. If I decided to opt for the surgery where they sever the balance nerve (and my good ear would eventually take over the function of both ears), the drawback would be possible damage to the hearing nerve, a risk I'm not willing to take at this point. Her hearing nerve is affected, not the balance one...and she is a real life gymnast.
I used to be a high level gymnast and when I was 14 and my parents found out I was throwing up they didn't really do anything about it. They asked me about it and I just told them I would stop. They threatened to pull me out, but never did. Its easier than you think to pull the wool over your parents eyes.
I remember when my mum was forcing me to eat, but I already ate just before I got home but she didn't belive me.I said that if I eat anything I would trow it all up, but she was still forcing me. S I ate. Then I just couldn't hold it anymore after half of a plate so I just threw it all up on the floor next to the table. yeah. she never forced me to eat again.
@liza92685 and what's your point? Nadia was incredibly successful & has made a life for herself within gymnastics even after retirement , and she needs an image to maintain. Go see what Emilia Eberle has to say about him, and then the rest of that quad. The fact is that Romania is still asking for Karolyi to be sent back for abuse but the US is too happy with him producing gold medallists. Sick.
If you're too lazy to google, just type in worldgymrank IOC
My friend is a gymnast, and she is soooo freaking skinny, but she eats so much food. But, she burns it off quickly because she has gym practice everyday from 7am-12 and VARSITY softball from 4pm-7pm every mondays wednesdays and fridays. the only day she doesn't do gym is sundays....and she is only a level 8. during the school year she has gym from 5am-7am :O
I have never understood how athletes think that they can push their bodies to the absolute limit on little or no food! That's like trying to drive a car cross country on one tank of gas! Food is fuel for the body. I am glad to see that things are changing for the better, though.
ok, the fact that she is acting all mentally ill already even though she hasn't even started starving herself yet. They're like freaking out and there's not even a problem yet! ANNOYING!
85 pounds! she is small ayway the weight is fine! what concerns me is that she thinks about throwing up! I mean i had similar thoughts when i started high jump! You had to find the balance of having strong leg muscels/stomach muscels and keeping your weight downnto a minimum! I mean you have big pressure on your shoulders!
wow she reminds me of me the deaf girl and the eating part. Wow i still remember when i forced myself not to eat what does my mom do :O Threathens me to the hospital if i don't eat.
omg if i told my mum i would eat all the food and throw it all up she would go spaz on me and pull me out of gymnastics! i cant believe she didnt do anything about it!!
@flipingymnastkristy You are totally right. If my kid tells me that, I would do exactly the same: so you cannot it because of gymnastics? Then no more gymnastics for you, girl. Period. Gymnastics (or anything) cannot go before your health. And you NEED to eat to keep going, because food is the fuel we need to function. You do not have to eat all, you can skip some carbs and eat more green salads and proteins, but you HAVE to eat. If you want to loose weight you go to a nutritionist.
@flipingymnastkristy haha, yeah. I'm not even in gymnastics and if I told my mum I did that she'd freak out! It's hard to watch your weight and be a competitive athelete!
This is typical of so many parents and other "concerned" people who don't realize that if you're going to be Elite, there are major sacrifices. If nobody made the sacrifices, there would be no world-class gymnasts, just a bunch of dumbass ass teenage girls talking on cell phones and thinking they have a life.
Yeah, it's stupid. But, I guess it's cos this movie isn't focused on an eating disorder, it's just focused on the pressures of being a gymnast. Whereas, "Perfect Body" for example was a movie just based about an eating disorder, so it was more realistic, and it didn't just happen "overnight"
He sold everything he owned to support her training? That is so stupid. How can an intelligent father give up everything they have and live in a car? It's a NECESSITY to have a safe place to relax and groom yourself and it's a WANT for his daughter to do well in gymnastics. Ridiculous.
This movie is certainly not as good as Perfect body! There are no build up scenes to her getting insulted by the coach regarding her figure for her to even be worried about her diet that much. In my opinion there was more in depth to Perfect body than this one.
I had mixed feelings on the part where Katie saw her old coach. I don't think Katie was trying to imply that Terry was holding her back. And I think it was okay for Katie to tell her how she was doing. However, I do think Katie could said it differently, and maybe even made some time to spend with Terry. I do think the Dad was a little to hard on Katie about it though.
at the end wen all the girls were laying around ha! my coach would kill us 4 bein that disrespectfull we4 have to stand smallest to tallest with r shoulder down and back, stumache in, feet 2gether every time he gives us "lectures" more like screaming in our faces
i don't think it was written to imply that she suddenly became an elite - she seemed to already be doing well, i guess the new coach probably was trying to get everything she already had to perfection & add difficulty - she was already performing & winning at the old gym.
kind of like in "perfect body" the routines are called "elite" when in reality these skills aren't what an olympic-level gymnast would be doing... for the most part, anyway.
Because I can, damn it. Unlike you, I live in a country where I can do what ever I fucking want. You gringos are all mentally castrated and always scared shitless of a little sexual diversity. I pity you. By the way, your spelling sucks.
No capitol letters at the beginning of the paragraph, no question marks, and so on. That is not correct writing, stupid. Assholes like you kill the English language.

damnnn, i did not know that losing weight meant you could get more height in your tumbling. I do acro as well as ballet and im thinking that if i lose another 10 pounds i could fly when tumbling :)
It only helps if you don't compromise your strength in the process of losing extra pounds, otherwise losing more is useless for tumbling and pretty dangerous.
its absolutely untrue. if you look at gymnasts like tasha swikert (sp??) she goes SO high and has huge thighs to do it with. svetlana khorkina is super thin and can barely get off the ground
