The Tragedies of Gymnastics - Solo Piano (Raúl Diblasio)

Music: Raul Diblasio:: Solo Piano... I want to emphasize the fact that is not my intention to scare anyone into doing gymnastics. More than being scared by these accidents it's important to note their cause: Mukhina's accident was caused by a moved that is banned, Henrich died from anorexia which shows that starving yourself will never be the answer, and in the case of Sang Lan she admitted she got distracted which shows gymnastics has no tolerance for distractions, the world can fall apart but the only thing you must mind as a gymnast is your routine.

Now anyone who wants to be an elite must know gymnastics history and these accidents are part of this history, but as I have said more than getting scared by them you must analyse the causes to prevent them from happening to you.

@NdanteAllegro Personally, I think if a judge makes a negative comment about a gymnasts weight, they should be banned from judging-period.

This won't be a popular comment but it's true: the judge didn't do anything to Christy. She made her decision to do what she did. There was influence, but in the end, it was her choice. She could have chosen to not react that way to the judge's remark. It's sad that she died, but any expert on anorexia will tell you that the girl is responsible for her own behavior - like we all are.

No guys they should not ban the sports because it is our life life im gymnast i broke my foot 3 times and my rist its just what we do for a living

@outlawzzz187 Then they should ban about 70% of the sports cause every sport has its risks, and there are tragedies in the history of the majority of the sport. And about Christy Henrich, @beautifulsarah100 it's unfair to blame her. Anorexia is not a decision you make, it's an illness, and about an ilness you can never say that it's the patient's fault. But I would not consider the judge to be the person who killed her, I'm sure he could not imagine what would happen to her.

@beautifulsarah100 You are absolutely right. It is possible to recover from anorexia. It is difficult- you don't want to eat, food tastes awful, you feel weak for "giving into" eating...but some people do find the willpower to get over it. Gymnastics is a breeding ground for anorexia, though- so many girls only want to please.

@beautifulsarah100 you are so wrong :| people influenced eventually develops a disorder in any grade, so if you bully anybody, and that person cuts himself..is his fault? because it was his own decision? it was his chose? And i tell you this 'cause I've seen a lot of that, and people always washes its hands.

@beautifulsarah100 How horribly wrong you are. People like you disgust me. I have had a family member and close friend suffer anorexia, and I can tell you it is by no means a choice. Anorexia is a mental illness, with physical symptoms. No one who gets it can prevent it. They can try as hard as they can to fight it, but once it is implanted, it is there to stay. It is the gymnastics worlds fault she had anorexia, no matter how hard she tried, her mind was wired the way it was.

@CinRandom I agree with you 100% I was told fat by a lot of members of my family as a child, and I believed them, looking at pics, I now know I wasn't fat at all. I never got anorexic, but I did used to feel bad about eating. I mean, ppl should save their comments to themselves.

[IGotStacksOnStacks]

Messed up.

If the judge told me I was fat, I would've said, bitch you're fat stfu xD
