> In an interview with the Swiss newspaper Tages Anzeiger, Reusser—who is a trained physician as well as a cyclist—expressed concern. “We secretly hoped she wouldn’t win. Pauline has set a new standard. If others follow her example, it puts pressure on all cyclists. If you put on a jersey and are visibly proud that it’s too big, that sends a message. A teammate told me that Pauline measures her skinfold and then decides whether she can eat breakfast. As a fellow athlete, I admire her. As a physician, I worry. Is it truly harmless if the deficit is only short-lived? Where is the line between smart performance management and harm?”
