Mondor Retires

Merci, mais personnes aux Etat-Unis peut lire le francais.

Come on the French in that article is not that difficult to understand and is laden in anglisisms. I wonder if she has some metabolic disease?

I heard that the reason she took the past year off was because she was recovering from an eating disorder that basically caused her body to shut down. Too bad that someone so talented and hard working as her might not be able to run again because of taking things to too much of an extreme.

Any word on how her training out in Mammouth was going?

she joins the many many other female runners that cheated the system and comprised their health.

Huh?

She has her own bilingual website, so it shouldn't be hard to check the truth.

I think they mean that she was on "Starvoids"

stuck it in babelfish, this is the translation:

Mondor at rest for one year or two

For health reasons, the young manhunter of medium-distance race Émilie Mondor must put her career suspends some. She suffers from osteoporosis, a disease much more frequent among women in around fifty than in young the 24 year old athletes. Very rare case which intrigues and diverts the sporting medicine, Émilie, which was on the point of going to dispute tests of cross-country race in Europe, must take one year of minimum rest, perhaps two. And nothing ensures today that it will join again one day with the competition. A drama in the life of this young woman for whom the race was less one career that a manner of living, for which to run, according to its own words was "like breathing". During the same interview that it had given me in Paris in 2003, it had made this premonitory assumption: if you give me the choice between gaining a medal with these championships of the world and stopping running afterwards, or never again not to make a competition but to run all my life, I would say to you to run all my life. It inherits worst: more competition, and not right to run... or very very slightly, and not more than three times per week. Exceptionally gifted junior, of the first troubles of health had opposed his seniors beginnings with the point where already it had been believed lost for the competition. It settles then as a Colombia-British where it can be involved outside and at its rate/rhythm 12 months per year. It finds its health, all its class and joined soon the world elite to which it belongs, which it will show in a bright way to the Championships of the world in Paris in 2003 while becoming the first Canadian one to go down under the 15 minutes out of 5000 meters and while taking part in the finale from this 5000 in the tread from untouchable African. One awaited it much in Athens. Large disappointment, especially for it. A rather poor stopwatch draws aside it from the finale. It announces one year of rest, moves in Mammoth Lake in the East of California, new environment, new sleeping partners, it seems well set out again, and then this tile. Osteoporosis like an old injury. Used by the drive? Precisely not. Follower of the drive in softness short periods of very meticulous intensity, taking great care of his food, Émilie Mondor is one as of the these athlete models from which the best results were to be come in three or four years, at the age or the manhunters of medium-distance race reach their maturity (even if the tests of medium-distance race are currently dominated by very the young people African ones). On holiday in his/her Mascouche parents, Émilie sets out again in Mammoth Lake the next week. The doctors allow him jogger slightly three times per week, it awaits much of this rest and more still of a very new still experimental drug than one has just started to manage to him. Without despairing to return to the race in one year or two, perhaps even on the marathon, it thinks while waiting to convert with "easier" sports - it is it which says it! - like the bicycle or the triathlon.

Even more intriguing than her plight is her attitude.

The above statement could not be more contrary to how I would feel if facing that choice.

I must have a blind spot.

Any more news on this matter? This really strikes a blow to Canada's long distance running hopes on the female side....

The definitive word, I would imagine:

Come on, that's just what happens to people who are on the "Wetmore-Diet".

Eat some burgers.Kennedy did.Williams did.

while this is great loss, Canada has many great distance runners on the women's side. I remember it wasn't too long ago that they got 3rd at World Cross as a team. In fact, it was two years ago... or was it last year? I don't feel like checking. Oh well, you get the point.

2004

All the best to her in the recovery but for someone with a history of fragile bones is the Marathon really the best event to be aiming for?

Wow, is Babelfish ever crap. Funny stuff, but crap. "Young manhunter"? And the line at the end - "it is it which says it is!" How zen koan. But yeah, too bad for Emilie. And typical that some folks see the need to suggest that she is somehow reaping what she sowed. As if no one ever got sick without bringing it upon themselves. Hope she gets better and is able to enjoy running for the rest of her life - definitely a better outcome than getting a medal and never running again.

been there done/that. quit in 79' under similar diagnosis, but no specific course of treatment. I had to stop a few years to let my body regroup,start eating better then had a kid , went on to run 12 ok marathons and one rather painful boston.

no bone problems since and pushing 50. Sometimes you just need a time out.

She is extremly anorexic and still in denial of her illness, saying her weak bones are "genetic". she has been anorexic a long time and the result is now showing. a illness largely ignored by the distnace community and coaching staff.

I think he must have used a translation program. You can find them on the internet and in stores. They are OK for translating if you just want to get the basic jist of something but are not good if you need a perfect translation. The only way to truly translate something is to have a person due it. Even a bad translation is better than trying to read French if you're not fluent in the language.

I say thanks for the general translation, Babel.
