Ohashi said that she put on weight after the injury, becoming an object of constant jeers and sneers.
“I was told I didn’t look like a gymnast. I was told I looked like I’d swallowed an elephant, or looked like a pig,” she said in May.
“As gymnasts, our bodies are constantly being seen in these minimal clothing leotards. I felt so uncomfortable looking in the mirror,” she added.
Since becoming a viral sensation, Ohashi has constantly addressed body-shaming issues by telling her own story.
This is a great way to shut up the haters.
