Comment 6- Happy 900!

    The variety of posts on the blog is awesome. You can find almost any topic on it, and learn about so many things. Although, after 11 years, it´s normal!! It´s very useful to practise writing and especially to learn how to make good compositions and improve our vocabulary. Also, there are a lot of interesting articles that we wouldn't probably have read if they weren't on the blog.

    For example, in this post, there is information about the gymnast Nadia Comaneci, for me and surely for many more people, one of the best in the world. It's amazing what she does. She makes gymnastics look easy, although, in fact, I consider it to be one of the most difficult sports by far. You must be very careful because any mistake can cost you a serious injury or even your life. Comaneci does all the steps perfectly, literally a 10/10.

    A few days ago, I saw a documentary on Netflix where Nadia Comaneci appeared among other athletes. It's called “Athlete A”, and on it, you can see the declarations of some of the gymnasts that Dr. Larry Nassar raped. Simone Biles, the gymnast who left the Olympic games due to anxiety and stress problems, also appeared on it. It´s hard to see how these things continue to happen and to see what kind of things athletes have to go through.

    As if the frequent abuse were not enough, athletes who practice this sport often have food illnesses, such as anorexia or bulimia. The shocking thing is that in many cases, it´s due to their own coaches. Sport should be something to enjoy and have fun, and a safe place for the athletes. Obviously, you must also make a lot of sacrifices and efforts, especially at such high levels, but nothing should ever be bad for your health. That is why I admire Simone Biles' decision to retire from the competition on time since she was not mentally well at all. She has been very brave.
