Liz McColgan defends daughter Eilish against body-shaming trolls

Eilish McColgan, a Scottish runner and Commonwealth 10,000m champion, faced body-shaming comments on social media after posting a training video for her upcoming London Marathon. Critics questioned her health and appearance, with some alleging she has an eating disorder. In defense, her mother Liz McColgan, an Olympic silver medallist and her coach, condemned the trolls as 'stupid' and emphasized the importance of fueling the body for elite training. Liz expressed concern for younger athletes who may not be as resilient to such abuse, urging for an end to the online harassment of female athletes. Eilish strongly responded to the haters, stating that their lack of understanding about elite training is evident. Supporters rallied around her, affirming her strength and dedication as an athlete.
