In last year's East Asian Games women's table tennis team competition, the Chinese women's table tennis team wore brand-new skirt-style outfits. The one-piece design and fabric texture were somewhat similar to swimwear, with shorts underneath the outer skirt, allowing the athletes to move freely. To make the new competition outfits look good, Yao Yan, a member of the Chinese women's team, chose to reduce her food intake to maintain her figure, subsisting only on fruit for several days before the competition. This was quite different from the male table tennis players, who never picked at their food and were often overweight.
1. Rhythmic Gym Queen Dai Feifei
Weight loss area: limbs; Method: yoga
As a rhythmic gymnastics queen, Dai Feifei has perfect measurements and an outstanding temperament. To maintain her figure, she has put a lot of thought into it, from diet control to timed walking, and finally chose yoga. Since her career is based on physical skills, yoga was easy for the "rhythmic gymnastics queen" Dai Feifei to pick up.
Through arduous and persistent efforts, Dai Feifei has maintained her stunning figure. In fact, rhythmic gymnastics is a sport that is very body-shaping, and none of the rhythmic gymnasts are muscular women. Their figures and looks are already among the best in the world, so the fact that even they need to lose weight only makes one sigh at the insatiable pursuit of beauty by women.
2. Diving star Guo Jingjing
Weight loss area: buttocks; Method: eating spicy food
Having stood tall in both the diving and entertainment industries for many years, Guo Jingjing is a true crossover star, a remarkable individual with stunning looks, a great figure, and outstanding achievements. Speaking of physique, divers are very particular about it; gaining weight inevitably affects their ability to perform aerial somersaults and minimize splashing.
Guo Jingjing has her own tips for maintaining her figure. Initially, she relied on dieting to control her weight. Later, she discovered that by improving her diet, she wouldn't gain weight either. Her secret was to eat more vegetables, chili sauce, and instant noodles, which have no nutritional value. The part of the body that divers least like to gain weight is their buttocks, and Guo Jingjing has always maintained a good shapely bottom.
3. Gymnastics legend Cheng Fei
Weight loss area: arms; Method: dieting
In daily training, gymnasts always seem to be concerned about "weight loss." The national team coaching staff records the athletes' weight every day. If they are too light, they need to gain weight, like He Kexin; if they are too heavy, they need to lose weight, like the senior athlete Cheng Fei. Cheng Fei is prone to weight gain, so she pays great attention to maintaining her weight.
Her strengths lie in her legs and core, but her arm strength is not particularly outstanding. Although her movements are precise and her landings are stable, the lack of arm strength results in insufficient height in the air, affecting the expressiveness of her technique. To address this, Cheng Fei always tries to keep her weight within a reasonable range. Her specific method is simply dieting, and the first choice for fat loss and muscle gain is naturally her arms.
