Athletes before and after: who got fat after retirement
Categories: Sport
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/athletes-before-and-after-who-got-fat-after-retirement.htmlWhen athletes are at the peak of glory and bring victories and medals one by one to their country, they are the darlings of the press and the public. However, the career of professional athletes, even those who have achieved success and became famous all over the world, is short, and life is composed of training, deprivation, excessive media attention and pressure, increasing with each new win, heavy.
Maybe that's why some athletes after a career no longer look after themselves, so the burden of responsibility presses, and the eternal race for first place stopped, and maybe because they just don't know what to do with so much free time.
