well maybe if they'd been more dedicated to weight control they'd have made the cut!

I suspect actually it's a difference between different trainers and what they tell their girls to do. I'm in no position to say what effect a strict diet has on gymnastic performance, I'm just going by what I've read, which is universally about little girls with strict diets to keep super low body fat levels as an absolute necessity to hit peak performance in women's gymnastics.

How is quinoa a carb substitute? It has a glycemic index of 53, compared to table sugar's 59. Or... is that

quinoa is gluten substitute, which often gets conflated as being low carb.

Cauliflower rice though NOW WE'RE TALKIN (about lots of farts)

i know a lot of gymnasts who were JUST outside of that olympic group. Maybe there's a few exceptions, but I'm telling you, female gymnasts train so much they eat whatever they want. That's why they all have the "fluffy phase" when they get fat after retiring. they have to adjust their diets.

That's to say nothing about the men, who eat whatever the gently caress they way.

I mean, one of the articles about how terrible USA Gymnastics was (beyond allowing a man to sexually abuse teenage girls for two decades) talks about girls starving themselves directly.

quote:

This extended into eating. �I can�t imagine anyone was eating as they usually did at home. Everyone seemed uncomfortable eating together and the dining room was another contest for who ate the least�as coaches and admin[s] were all watching,� she recalled. 2012 Olympic gold medalist McKayla Maroney remarked on this when she was interviewed by GymCastic in 2016, saying that the gymnasts were often uncomfortable eating to satisfaction in front of their coaches and the national team staff.

People that do paleo or whatever always go to quinoa because it's technically not a carb.

Girl's soccer is the leading cause of ACL tears in collegiate athletics

When things go wrong in competitive cheer, they go.....WRONG

Yeah, the difference in pelvic anatomy (mainly the muscle attachments on the bones) results in more stress on the ACL in women compared to men.

But that's just... it's a grain, it's packed with carbohydrates, why would someone think it's not a carb?

And paleo diet says "no grains," quinoa is a grain, unambiguously so, it's clearly not OK in paleo.

USAG is an absolute poo poo show and their coaches are loving trash.

The girls were systematically abused and everyone involved should be sent to the Hague.

But it does not matter at all what these girls eat. Unless they're literally building an igloo out of klondike bars and eating themselves out they're fine.

Ah. So idiots think it's OK to eat potatoes and rice and quinoa when on a low-carb diet because none of these have gluten. Got it.

lol gymnastics literally created a sport to compete with competitive cheer

if you're ever playing trivia and they ask which highschool sport kills the most people every year, it's cheerleading.

Technically cheerleading isn't a sport, it's an activity. I don't say that to denigrate the athleticism of cheerleaders, just to bring up that's the official classification and it means cheerleaders have fewer legal protections against exploitation, abuse and injury than the loving laughable ones we give to other high school athletes.

Yeah, my oldest niece is going to WVU in the Fall, was recruited there to cheer, but they do not offer scholarships for cheer. She also had a chance to go to Louisville and cheer, and at least they have a scholarship that effectively replaces the sports scholarship for their cheerleaders. I think I'm more mad about that fact than she is. They easily devote as much time to cheer as I did for 3 sports in high school

Whew boy when I was in IT... So I used to work for a Mennonite (amish lite) owned company, very religious had a lot of long time lifers that led prayer circles etc etc. We had a web filter we didn't really get alerts or anything from because we didn't care to monitor activity only prevent malware, except for one day we had to look for something and noticed a guy getting flagged for porn every day between certain hours going back pretty much the entire history of the filter. Not just any porn, specifically nudist family stuff. This guy led the prayer circle. Whole situation was gross, they nuked his entire office because of "stains under the desk" and I can only :barf:

remember the times I've shook his hand.

Anyways that was the only time I was glad to revoke access

It was a bit funny in that the response of the higher ups was utter disgust to the point they tore up the office but at the same time they tried to keep the exact reason completely hushed so we were not supposed to tell anyone why he was fired (we did)
