Kim Bui, former German competitive athlete on the dark side of sport
Gymnastics was Kim Bui's great passion for 29 years. In her book, the former competitive athlete writes about many highlights, but also about the darker side of the sport. Her everyday life was characterized by experiences that crossed boundaries: training methods, pain, pressure to perform and psychological violence led to self-doubt and eating disorders. With great openness, Kim Bui talks about the constant pressure and the effects on a young person's life. The reading will be followed by a discussion between Kim Bui, Marianne Sieler from the Eating Disorder Support Center (ABAS), Dr. Susanne Rueß, Psychosomatic Medicine at the Diakonie-Klinikum, and Dr. Christine Kopp, Sports Medicine at Tübingen University Hospital. Moderation: Brigitte Ott-Göbel
