  • I know there was lots of speculation about Knutson. I sincerely hope she's able to overcome her eating disorder and whatever other demons she faces and find success in or out of the pool. It's sad that so many female athletes seem to be fighting their own bodies. Her demise in terms of swimming was a source of speculation for a couple of years. I often wondered what happened given her astonishing early career. Now I understand and it is heart breaking. Whether or not she stays in the pool is mostly irrelevant at this point. I hope she can overcome this terrible problem.
