[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there any US governing body that oversees the training of these children in skating and gymnastics? Is there anyone who is making sure they are not underfed, or overworked? I shudder to think of all the young women we've never heard of who have been just destroyed in the pursuit of these endeavors before they even get their period. [/quote] Well, before we get all super insane about this, lets be clear that this level of pressure and training exisits in most high-level sports for both genders from a very young age. Gymnastics and skating may be the worst all around, but there are lots of 11 year olds training 7 days a week/2-3 hours a day in soccer in local clubs. If you want to be a very serious athlete in non-team sports, you ramp down your schooling and ramp up your training. See: skiing, tennis, dance, etc. [/quote]
