Girls figure skaters in their grace and harmony can only compete with ballerinas. Both those and others strictly monitor their weight, which means they must limit the use of some foods and maintain water balance.
It is known that if there is only 100 grams of excess weight, then the jump technique immediately changes. A little extra water and airiness with grace can also be sacrificed along with "volatility".
Nutritionists are trying to find for each promising skater a balanced diet that suits her age and physiological characteristics, and also allows you to stay energetic not only on the rink, but also during all day.
Usually ice athletes eat small portions 3-5 times a day.
They are not allowed to eat after 6 pm and dinner must be light.
Before each meal, it is recommended to drink one large glass of clean water. Water is a great solution for figure skaters, as just one glass helps the whole body work better and girls will want to eat less.
And before training, they can, of course, eat. However, this must be done at least 2-3 hours before going to the rink.
The list of prohibited products figurines often include:
milk
eggs
sugar
salty
smoked
roast
chocolate
fats
Serious difficulties with weight and diets occur in figure skaters after a period of growing up. The older the body, the more noticeable the effects of soda, chocolates, hamburgers and pizza are reflected on it.
Because of this, so many girls who seem to have been very good at skating just recently go out of the race. Yet food and nutrition play an important role, both for figure skaters and ballerinas.
So what do they eat, skaters? Just vegetables, fruits and oatmeal?
In some cases, alas, they have to make do with fresh vegetable salads with butter and lemon dressing, cereals, seafood, fruits and berries, boiled meats and juices.
As you can see, the food is very healthy and healthy. However, the growing body of girls always wants bans, and this is bad for athletes, especially those who have serious plans and ambitions for Olympic medals or other victories in competitions.
So the diet of Evgenia Medvedeva before the performances was extremely strict, since everything fatty, fried and spicy was excluded from it.
And on the eve of the Olympics in Pyeongchang, Zhenya completely dispensed with unleavened rice. Without everything!
Alina Zagitova's favorite breakfast is oatmeal with dried fruits.
The girl already has problems with weight, as the figure has become more feminine, which means that some principles of sports nutrition and hence the former sports uniform is lost, which could be for competitions with rivals for pedestals.
Everyone knows the sad story of Yulia Lipnitskaya's weight.
She initially did not choose the right diet, and against the background of hormonal changes, the teenage girl began to gain weight, despite the eternal food restrictions - she was forbidden to eat almost everything!
This first began to affect the technique of skating. And then a rapid weight loss began and it had already reached anorexia, but Yulia’s thinness did not return her lightness, she, along with the weight swing, also lost her “phenomenal rotation” in jumping.
As a result, Lipnitskaya lost her youthful enthusiasm and energy, she began to lack the strength to skate, and even more so to perform complex elements.
As a result, in 2016 I had to end my career.
These girls won the entire podium of the European Championship in January 2022, and their coach Eteri Tutberidze must strictly monitor what they eat and how her wards observe the food regimen.
Even though figure skaters certainly love fast food, they still have their own diet.
So Anna Shcherbakova - include quail eggs in the diet to strengthen immunity, restore strength and improve metabolism.
Alexandra Trusova, due to her age and the already noticeable female roundness of the figure - lemons. Lemon juice is added to water to balance the water-salt balance after hard workouts.
What they feed the winner of Europe and the master of sports in figure skating Kamila Valieva is a big secret of her parents and coaches.
Let them stay!
We hope that proper nutrition and training will help these same girls repeat their success at the 2022 Olympics. Good luck!
