Actresses, models and singers aren’t the only ones who get the occasional ‘you’re too fat / you look anorexic!’-type of comments on the Internet. It seems that professional athletes sometimes get the same treatment – here’s a story about Olympic swimmer Rebecca Adlington, who is dealing with Internet bullying regarding her appearance – from Daily Mail:

Olympic champion swimmer Rebecca Adlington has been subjected to cruel internet taunts about her looks, she revealed yesterday. The gold medallist from the Beijing Games said she had been left upset and angry by comments mocking her appearance on websites and social networking sites such as Twitter. Now the 23-year-old says she will avoid the internet altogether during London 2012.

Miss Adlington, a 400m and 800m freestyle champion, said: 'I used to read all the stuff about me. I learned very quickly not to do that.

'It is awful. Even if there are ten nice comments you get one idiot. I've now given up. It upsets me or gets me angry. They are to do with how I look, which has nothing to do with my performance in the pool. It's just nasty comments about things I can't control. I can't help the way I look.'

The swimmer, who has 48,562 followers on Twitter, told the Daily Mail she regularly has to use the 'block button' on Twitter to stop people from sending her vile messages.

It is not the first time Miss Adlington, of Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, has been publicly abused over her looks. In 2009, BBC panel show Mock The Week was censured after broadcasting 'nasty' comments about her by comedian Frankie Boyle.

Reflecting on the incident, the swimmer said: 'It's hard for a woman. A guy doesn't get comments on his weight or his looks. But for women it is difficult because we get criticised for our weight or how we look.'
