Athlete Gallagher Cox shares a delicate story that few colleagues dare to tell

Athlete Laura Gallagher Cox of the UK diving team has revealed about a health problem that some athletes have, it is called stress incontinence. Stress incontinence occurs after a large amount of urine is expelled during an athlete’s attempt to complete an exercise, leading to pelvic injury over time.

This incident often occurs with female athletes participating in sports sport high impact, common in netball, gymnastics, and running.

Gallagher Cox, the Olympic snowmobile racer competing in Tokyo 2021 opened an interview with the Telegraph about how she coped with this situation when attending a national tournament at the age of 15.

Everything turned disastrous when something went wrong during her warm-up: “It completely destroyed my warm-up. I felt embarrassed. I went to the bathroom to changed. People didn’t know what was wrong with me, I didn’t dare to share.”

Cox continued to talk about the subtleties of her trampoline jumping: “When we hit the ground from a jump, our bodies weigh 16 times as much when they hit the trampoline. This is also the time. When urinary incontinence happens, girls who are just entering puberty have a harder time. It causes discomfort and anxiety, it can distract you.”

In order to limit this delicate issue with female athletes, former rowing athlete and health coach Baz Moffatt advises athletes, through the Telegraph she said: “My advice is that you guys do the exercises yourself. simple exercises for the pelvic area. However, women don’t know how to do the exercises properly, so it is important to disseminate these exercises to them.”

The story of “wetting the bed” while competing has also happened before with French gymnast Emilie Le Pennec at the 2005 world championships. Ecuadorian female weightlifter – Maria Alexandra Escobar Guerrero got into trouble. Similar to the 2012 London Olympics.
