Intriguing article.
I realize these are athletes competing internationally, but some sound obsessive about their weight. Wonder what happens once they drop out of the competitive circuit.
And this statement near end:
Are they inferring her BMI appears high or low but she's strong?“I know an individual who is one of the fittest ultra-sport athletes,” he said. “She competes in 100 milers, and her body fat is close to 20 percent.”
Yet, he said, “she is one of the most talented athletes I have ever seen.”
(And I'm making these comments when I haven't weighed myself for past 3 wks. or so. I'll get around to it.)
