"Too Thin to Win" is the title of an e-publication I wrote in 2003 shortly after getting over the shock of learning that Helen Moros had died from heart failure at the age of 35. ?Helen ably represented New Zealand as a middle distance track runner and was a team mate of my sister, Lorraine. ?Helen died from self-imposed starvation.
The tragedy of anorexia in sport
Being thin does confer a performance advantage to the middle and long distance athlete; but there is a point beyond which any further gains are negated by ill health, injury and under-performance. ?They end up running on empty. ?Tragically, the athlete may be blind to any connection their under-performing and their "under-eating", responding instead, to failure, by further food restriction and even harsher training.Watching these wonderful female role models in action last night has motivated a furious rewrite today of this publication about the unmentionable disease of anorexia within sport.
Please pass it on to others. ?This is such an important issue and one not to be brushed under the carpet.
