According to reports, they did tried to stop her, she wasn´t allowed to train, they offer medical assistance (that the family declained), evne other skater tried to help her, the problem it seem that anorexia is like alcoholism (sorry if it sounds offensive), unless the person realize she/he has an illness and accept help is very hard to recover.Not at all, better safe than sorry! I'm glad that your coach cares about the health of the students instead of only caring about gold medals.
And about Yulia: I seriously cannot imagine how thin she must be right now. I saw her Worlds program and she was such a tiny thing, borderline on what I (personally) consider beautiful.
One of my high school friends had anorexia, in part because compared herself to other girls and she thought herself "fat" (she´s about 1.70m and big hips kind of girl, used to weight about 130, she compared herself to me and my weight I´m only 1.46m and weight about 100pounds), so she started starving herself. We didn´t notice until one time during recess she past out. She was in care of doctor for about a year, an even now almost 12years later her body is still suffering with the damage she caused herself. She no longer can eat food that is consider heavy (meat, hot dogs, chilly), have to take lot´s of medicine and falls ill very easy.
