Well, I don"t think has the turn of finishing speed needed at World Champs level to make the final.

For example, in the European Indoor Champs earlier this year, she only made the final as a fastest loser.

Why does she always look like a 15 year old girl who had just been dumped by her boyfriend?

I think she is beautiful.

2 of my 3 daughters are naturally skinny and eat like grown men. Both are runners and get constant comments on how they need to eat more. I have had to witness them crying from comments and from some girls that bully them for being skinny.

Please chill.

Teach them how to throw a punch.

Stop Picking on Mr. Bird. He shared an important story. KK is naturally skinny also.

Right so. Skinny is not the same thing as anorexic. And you can't consistently perform in an endurance sport if you aren't able to keep your food intake in a healthy bandwidth; neither too much nor too little.

She has the downy hair/lanugo that is a clear sign of anorexia, or at the very least eating far less than she needs. Her arms in this picture are not the arms of someone who is healthy.

Agree completely and it was clear a few years ago, too. Often girls reach a breaking point where injury and other problems stop the progress. It's kind of surprising she's continued to be successful, so she must be walking (running) a very fine line. In any case, hope she is inspired to moderate things a bit before there are major consequences.

She does ballet and modelling too, both tied with higher rate of anorexia

It seems to vary a lot from person to person. I read the other day that another successful junior Bobby Clay is now suffering with osteoporosis aged ~20 and she was nowhere near as skinny as Konstanze. Some bodies can take more strain than others, but I can't see her body taking the strain of being so underweight for more than a couple of years.

Hand modelling? Her other attributes fall far short of Melissa Quigley.

OTOH with the ballet background maybe she has a future in the steeple, if her bones hold up.

I hope they aren't as skinny as KK

You know KK?

How old is this girl?

You guys seriously think she'll get better? She's super thin and has terrible form. Injury waiting to happen and won't bounce back from it.

22 years old. Has had injury and bounced back from it. 1:59, 3:58, 8:20, 14:26. 8 national titles, 6 national records. 1 diamond league win. 1 world championships medal.

Only second yesterday though, so clearly a big failure...
