swimming world championships Daria Ustinova told “” that many junior-aged athletes have weight issues as they transition into adulthood and don’t know how to properly address them.
– The problem of nutrition in athletes is generally a relevant story. By the way, are you weighed like figure skaters, for example?
– In adulthood, they no longer weigh. In junior, it was every day and it was very pressing. The problem isn’t that you have to lose weight – the weight has to work. The problem is the pressure from some coaches. Such coaches put pressure on juniors and at the same time do not explain how to eat right so that this excess weight does not exist. And then a girl stops eating. “Sitting” on cucumbers.
– Why exactly on cucumbers?
– I’ve been through it all. And I know many still see this as the number one solution. Then, after the cucumbers, the next day, they are hungry, they eat too much, and it all starts again.
