Magersucht und Depressionen: (Alb-)Traum Olympia? | Auf Klo

A podium finish and a gold medal: Every athlete dreams of this. Three top athletes, Cora, Falk, and Leonie, talk about the dark side of competitive sports. What does it mean to be a competitive athlete? Cora, Falk, and Leonie are absolutely top-class athletes in their sports and have been training for the Olympics since their youth. So they're living their dream – or so you'd think. Because the path to the top primarily means: little free time, constant weigh-ins to maintain a certain weight class, and the pressure to improve. What causes this pressure to perform among elite athletes? More and more athletes are becoming depressed or slipping into anorexia due to the pressure to perform. It's discussed openly too rarely. We want to change that with our guests: On Auf Klo, Cora, Falk, and Leonie talk about the mental health issues they struggle with, how they deal with them today, and what urgently needs to change in elite sports to reduce the prevalence of anorexia and depression. Do you need psychological help? Call the telephone counseling service (0800 /1110111 or 0800 /1110222), where you can speak to someone free of charge, anonymously, and around the clock. The helpline for grief (116111 or 0800 /1110333) also offers counseling specifically for children and young people. Or talk to someone you trust, such as a good friend or someone at school, work, or university. This is extremely important! Even if things are difficult right now: Don't lose heart!

And finally time to talk about the important things in life: About fashion and menstruation. About the first time and about chocolate cake. About fat bodies and narrow-minded rappers.
