Everyone here in Germany thinks she has an ED. She's 5'9 and not even 110lbs. That's really unhealthy. She's unbelievably talented, and naturally of a very slight build, but she has been getting alarmingly skinny as she starts to ramp up her training. She hasn't been injured yet, and I really hope that doesn't happen, but -
Most elite runners at her height weigh well over 120 lbs, and a healthy BMI starts at 125 lbs, to put it into context. I'm also concerned that other young girls here will try to slim down to look like her.
I really hope this isn't another young talent crashing and burning out due to an ED.
Mädel, iss mal was :(
