It's a brutal world. I used to be a gymnast when I was younger and there is pressure to not eat, to perform at an elite level, train ALL the time, be away from friends and family most of the time, get sponsorships, represent different companies, be a role model, get media training and the list goes on. It's a ton of pressure placed on these elite athletes and many are forced into it by their families and trainers the same way they are in other countries like Russia and China regardless of whether they really "want" to do it or not. I have a ton of empathy for athletes like Dominique and Simone. They go through a lot that most people don't know about and a LOT/most of these gymnasts are also sexually assaulted and abused in the process as well.
Yeah if I had a daughter (or ever have one) I'd heavily discourage her from getting into gymnastics, at least on an elite level.
Seems like a very unhealthy lifestyle to force on a teenager, got girls out here developing eating disorders and shyt.
