Did Dominique have an eating disorder?
Of course not. She was a triple Olympian.
In this interview she speaks about growing up petite and muscular. The psychological challenges of being built like an Olympic gymnast in a world where magazine models are 5′ 10″ tall.
Dominique, 31, was the first African-American woman to win an individual medal in gymnastics, having won bronze in the floor exercise at the ’96 Games, the second of her third Olympics. She was recently named – along with her teammates on the “Magnificent Seven†from 1996 – to the United States Olympic Committee’s Hall of Fame and will be inducted in June.
