As a former elite gymnast whose coach and fellow teammates are mentioned, I think this book is dead on in exploring the world of elite gymnastics and how it is little more than legalized child abuse in my opinion. Granted, my time was the early 90s and perhaps things are different today, but I find that hard to imagine. The coaches were brutal and belittled us on a daily basis. Public shaming was how we were kept in line and would prevent us from telling our parents what really happened in practice. While I realize my comments will not be popular with a lot of people nor with people who are not at the elite level, I think this book is invaluable for parents who are considering the commitment it takes to succeed at this level. I think gymnastics has a lot of wonderful qualities, such as instilling discipline, coordination, muscle memory, fitness and time management. The extremes in this book are not realized until the elite level. I loved gymnastics until I became an elite.
I don’t have children involved in sports at this level. After reading this book, I have never been happier to have completely normal kids. I love watching gymnastics and figure skating and I’m not ignorant enough to believe that eating disorders and abusive coaches aren’t the norm. But this book, even over two decades old, was enough to leave me horrified and disgusted. All the more terrifying, because it’s true. This is an incredible book whether you are in the sport or simply a spectator… I simply could not put it down. Although, I wanted to often enough.
From the time I was a teenager I have been a huge fan of figure skating and gymnastics. This interest is shared by my wife and daughter. I am now 80 years old and have many boxes of tapes of VHS tapes of various competitions.Observing the female competitors at the elite level obviously shows that that they live a lifestyle far outside the norm. I have long suspected eating disorders and the long-term effects that result. One might also suspect some level of physical, psychological, and, most horrifically, sexual abuse.While I suspected "some level" of abuse, this book illustrates a level of abuse far beyond what I would have suspected. Although this book was published quite some time ago, just last week (Nov. 2017) a gymnastics coach admitted sexually abusing members of his team. I certainly do not know what the answer is but the problem is worthy of serious study.As for me, I feel robbed. The 2018 Olympics is coming soon. Ladies figure skating is, like for many people, my favorite event. After reading this book however, I'm not sure that I will be able to watch as I did previously. I deeply admire hard work and dedication but sometimes the price of fame is simply too high.
Very well researched and written. This book pulls back the curtain and shows the dark side of the sports of gymnastics and figure skating. The young girls and young women who compete in these sports are subjected to situations beyond belief. And, many pay extreme sacrifices. This was researched and written in 1994, but not enough has changed to make theses sports a safer and healthier environment for the athletes that compete in them.
Anyone thinking or having a kid in the sports should read this book. It explains how abuse develops and gets tolerated.The book is even more relevant now, after Larry Nassar revelations.
It's 22 years old but it is a valuable snapshot of gymnastics and skating of the previous twenty years, especially with the endurance of the Karolyis.
This is a terrific book on the state of woman's gymnastics and, to some extent, figure skating, though the primary focus of the book is on gymnastics. It focuses on the enormous demands made upon these young athletes by coaches, trainers, officials, and parents. Some of those demands are so unrealistic as to border on child abuse. There are athletes who are starve themselves, who develop life threatening eating disorders, who perform dangerous maneuvers in the quest for the gold, and who sometimes end up dead or devastatingly injured as a result.There is a lot of backstage dish in the book that is interesting. True life stories, some of which are heartbreaking, flesh out the allegations asserted by the author. The emphasis on being tiny and elfin has had enormous impact on elite female gymnasts. One sees the difference in just by looking comparatively at the women's U.S. Olympic gymnastic teams from 1976 and 1992. The photographs in the book best illustrate this and the comparison bespeaks volumes. Elite gymnastics went from being a woman's sport to a girl's sport, as the author has sagely noted, and the photographs corroborate that assertion.Moreover, while some measures have been taken, such as raising the age for Olympic competition in 2000 from fifteen to sixteen, at the same time the minimum level of difficulty has increased, making an already dangerous sport more dangerous. Remember, elite gymnastics is a sport fraught with the potential for devastating spinal cord injuries. The author recounts a number of these heartbreaking injuries and the circumstances under which they occurred, leaving the reader to ask oneself, "Just what were these coaches thinking?The pressure that some of these girls and young women endure is truly unbelievable. The demands upon them are often unrealistic, stunting not only their physical development, but their social and emotional development, as well. Competing with serious injuries, while taking potent drugs for the excruciating pain, is simply not commensurate with a sensible athletic regimen.Parents who are living their dreams through their children are often as dangerous as unscrupulous and unqualified coaches. Many force their children to compete merely to satisfy their own desires for personal glory, badgering and berating their offspring every step of the way. Coaches, likewise, have their own dreams. Everyone wants to produce Olympians, but at what cost?This is a an excellent book with a lot of information, both anecdotal and empirical. When purchasing the book, however, be sure to get the latest edition, as it has been updated with information on the state of gymnastics as of the year 2000. It also contains 24 pages of photographs, including 8 new pages for the updated edition.
