The Athletes' Voices

Gymnastics and aesthetics: a problematic relationship?


Listen Later

In this episode, I talk about the importance of the body in gymnastics and some of the side effects of this complex relationship, such as ED, injuries, RED-s, and low self-esteem.

The way a body looks is a central point of gymnastics, and it can have some devastating effects on some gymnasts.

This episode is not about shaming or pointing fingers at specific people but rather about making us think of how we can reframe gymnastics as a sport.
