It's something you don't hear much about so I personally find it hard to judge whether it is more severe than other gymnasts' restrictive diets or if it's their small frames to begin with that make it seem worse. I myself am shocked when I see photos of dinners like Moors has put up, some fruit slices and carrot sticks. So I'm a poor barometer I think. Very interesting thought though, thank you. Will have a look at those links later.Beautiful Gymnasticshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00935698970163328051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287202282884938977.post-4617232351143007742013-12-09T03:02:15.494+00:002013-12-09T03:02:15.494+00:00First, thanks for posting this.

It seems that alot of general gymnastics sites treat athletes from USA, Russia and Romania as individuals and post about them as such but don't talk about the Chinese athletes that way and don't really know their names. I am not Chinese and do not speak Chinese but I know the different athletes and I like to hear them reported on as individuals.<br /><br />Also, I wonder if the reason China has been having so much trouble with power events is the emphasis on putting gymnasts on super strict diets. I have seen a number of interviews with Chinese athletes which seem to show that the gymnasts do not eat enough food and therefore have stunted growth and delayed puberty. See: <br />http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/07/26/us-oly-chn-fan-adv-idUSBRE86P0WT20120726<br />http://chinesegymnastics.tumblr.com/post/22194040544/into-the-training-facility-dorm-life-of-the<br />http://www.thecouchgymnast.com/sui-lu-prepares-for-chinese-national-games<br />http://www.thecouchgymnast.com/cheng-fei-ill-continue-and-persevere/<br />It seems that someone so small might not have enough body mass to get enough force to do the most difficult tumbling. Wang Wei is the only gymnast currently doing an F skill and she is not as skinny as many of the other athletes.gymfannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287202282884938977.post-8447205253324535072013-12-08T10:42:58.837+00:002013-12-08T10:42:58.837+00:00She underwent knee surgery shortly after the Natio...She underwent knee surgery shortly after the National Games, and her future in the sport is uncertain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287202282884938977.post-36241121323023084922013-12-08T01:23:03.192+00:002013-12-08T01:23:03.192+00:00What happened to Li Yiting?
