I have no idea if the girls are starving themselves, but I don't blindly buy the "naturally thin - genetics" explanation, especially after the whole Julia mess. Time will tell.
A) I’m not russian
B) stereotyping Russians is horrible
C) you can’t own up to your own words
If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, it may be genetically a swan... but most likely, it's a duck.
Yes, yes...all people look alike. Someone simply cannot be naturally thin. They must be starving themselves (or even doping). Unless you are a doctor and have personally evaluated them, you should be quiet.
None of this is about you being concerned for anyone’s health. Just be honest: this is about you throwing doping and/or starving accusations around (without any real evidence or proof) only because you are angry that certain skaters from a certain country are winning everything and you don’t like it. So, you are trying to discredit their results and everything they worked for as being achieved the ‘unnatural’ way.
What you are doing is also the very definition of body-shaming. Not every person looks the same or is built alike. Some people are just naturally thin. Some people have difficulty putting on weight no matter how much they eat. For you to disparage their appearance under the guise that you are merely “worried” is disgusting.
I think some have real concern because of past issues, but I also think there is a fine line in how concerns are expressed. These are young girls, they could genetically be small or eating very little. It actually is frustrating for people who are naturally slender and tiny to be accused of having eating disorders, my sister was put in counseling in college because the girls around her thought she had an eating disorder because she was naturally very thin. She had no such issues but it caused her a lot of stress that everyone seemed to think that about her. I'm glad these girls likely do not study english or browse these forms cause the conversation could be damaging if seen and it's not something that's really happening.
There is slender and there is to slender ... Trusova is slender and doesn't give the same perception that scherbakova ... even if genetics is important people have a normal( or proximal to a normal) BMC ... I don't know if she is anoretic or not ( I hope not and that her team always put her health first) but I would like to have one or two extra pounds because she looks like glass .. so i get the worry

As for "body-shaming" argument... The original fight against "body-shaming" was meant to protect human health by stopping unhealthy dieting etc. in the name of thinness or "beauty". What this forum does is the opposite, when it attacks those who are naturally worried about what looks like unnatural (drug or diet induced?) thinness of some of the athletes - it effectively validates unhealthy attitudes in the name of some "perfect" goal ...
PS Nice edit by replacing Russia with North Korea. Too bad for you it was already caught before you edited your post.
You’re being disingenuous. I hope that you don’t really think you’re fooling anyone? This has nothing to do with your concerns for anyone’s health and you wanting a real conversation and to raise some kind of awareness. This is all about you and your animosity towards certain skaters of a certain country for winning all the medals, and you are now trying to diminish and discredit their results and all their hard work as being achieved the unnatural way such as via doping. Admit it.
Should I quote all of your hate-filled, toxic posts regarding these very same skaters who you’re now suddenly oh so very concerned about? Those posts sure don’t sound like someone who is just merely worried and is an objective voice of reason. They sound like someone very angry with an agenda. What do you think?
By the way, since you seem so convinced that these girls are doping and/or starving themselves, why don’t you indulge us all by explaining why you think this to be the case. Give us some verifiable facts about them also. No guessing.
