Ultimately what will happen to Fiona is what has happened to Molly Seidel and her cycle of issues: her body will refuse to allow her to train/race. It's merely a matter of time. What Fiona is doing to her body is unsustainable. It's too bad because she's so very talented but her body will deteriorate in so many ways due to the severe underfueling she is subjecting herself to.
Someone who is skinny via a natural metabolism isn’t going to experience a femoral stress fracture. That’s a big red flag for osteoporosis and isn’t going to happen in a healthy body.
I am concerned over that fact that despite the femoral fracture and all of the medical consultations that must have come with it, Fiona still appears to be concerningly thin. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t force it to drink- I’m sure medical professionals have discussed the risks associated with low BMI and offered advice to heal, but until she follows that advice she’ll stay stuck in an injury loop. Right now it looks like she has not followed significant medical advice.
What’s concerning about this is that she actually looks * sicker * than she did at the Olympics.
Agh, this is tough. I’ve known Fiona for a long time. Whatever comes out of her career it only matters that she’s happy and healthy. I don’t despise you speculators. Most of you are using science, observation, and concern, not animosity. Foremost she’s a nice person and all of us have flaws. Man, life is crazy.
I remember after she won trials, someone on here stated bluntly that she was obviously underfueling and wouldn't make it to Paris healthy. I thought it was rude speculation at the time, but in hindsight it was calling a spade a spade.
The Paris disaster made it clear that she didn't have a good team around her. All I'll say is that I hope she's healthy and surrounded by good people going forward.
That was probably mu comment, which was not well received at the time. To say "I told you so" would be an understatement.
I have a feeling Molly isn’t with Puma anymore. She was wearing Nike shoes in her Instagram story today
Puma was posting pics of her yesterday and an instagram comment “we trust Fiona 🫶” which I’m not sure they would do if she was dropped. They have a video of the lead women in their stories but I can’t tell what shoes she has on.

Lokedi a class above the field, 1:07:04 for a PB. Fiona 2nd in 1:07:46, Bates and Sisson a minute or 2 back. Bates is in the middle of her Boston build. Wonder if Fiona has been deemed healthy enough for a spring marathon or if this was her A race for the season.
33 people, including you, haven't got a clue. Too bad, so sad. Relatives must avoid you at parties;)
You can only dream what parties must be like. But you have a clue, according to you! Pat yourself on the back and take the rest of the day off, tough guy.
Are you still crying BOHICA? Sorry your family disowned you, get over it and move on.
Parties? I am the LIFE of the party. You? You haven't been invited back to one in how many years?
I was right. You guys were wrong. She's fine. That's your armchair quarterback drivel over a photo???
Did you end up graduating from your Community College or are you still taking one class a semester? Oh nooooooooo....here come the liberal down votes!
That's cruel. If she does have an ED (which may very well be the case), it's a disease. Don't mock her. EDs can kill people.
She doesn't. She's training hard and racing hard. You guys and your "I see one picture" and this is my thoughts. Yikes! Leave the lady alone, she's fine

The picture Citius posted of her from today is really jarring. She’s such a talent but I agree that this just doesn’t look sustainable. And I am saying this from a place of concern and care, not judgement. I just hope she’s able to get healthy and stay healthy.

I saw her at the start line. I assure you she is not fine.
