∙ 14y agoActually, very few athletes have anorexia. It is more common is sports such as dance, gymnastics, cheerleading, diving, and figure skating. This is because, in those sports (along with a few others), appearance counts for a lot and often being smaller (in height and in weight) can put you at an advantage.
