They have revealed very important things – and this is at the heart of Dagbladet’s social mission, says Dagbladet’s editor-in-chief, Alexandra Beverfjord.

– It’s very big and touching. We are proud, happy and humbled. We want to thank the many people who have shared their personal and powerful stories. And the professionals, researchers and experts who have helped so far are no exception, says Dagbladet journalist Bernt Jakob Oksnes.

– I want to get away from it all. Far from life

He called the theme “one of society’s last taboos”.

– We are pleased and proud to have brought some of these complexes to light. It is hoped that eating disorders in sport have been put on the agenda in a way that makes it easier for athletes and people to raise their concerns.
