But getting into shape for what comes after the closing ceremony can be equally crucial, especially if the end of the Games also means the end of professional competition. Team USA rower Kate Knifton, a first-time Olympian at the 2024 Summer Games in Paris, understands the mental stress that a sudden exit from the highest levels of competitive life can bring. In 2022 she experienced a near career-ending back injury. Studies have found that top athletes—professional, college and Olympic—often face a range of short- and long-term mental health issues, including exhaustion, eating issues, anxiety and depression. A study by researchers at the University of Toronto found that 41.4 percent of Canadian national team athletes who were training for the 2020 Olympics had depression, anxiety, an eating disorder or more than one of these conditions when surveyed in 2019; in another survey of Olympic and Paralympic athletes in 2018 and 2019, 24 percent reported psychological stress after the Games. And mental health problems are even more common among athletes who are planning to retire from the sport, usually as a response to a perceived loss of goals and identity. Emotions are also intensified by the nature of the event itself. The Olympics is a massive cultural show—a whirlwind of global public attention, financial investment and extensive media coverage. New international celebrities are created, and some contenders fall from grace during various accusations or controversies. Athletes bear the pressure of representing their country, and winning medals, in front of a worldwide audience. But then “all of that buzz and intensity around being an Olympian falls off very quickly,” Cogan, a sports psychologist says. Painful decisions can follow: Do I want to keep competing? Should I pursue a completely different direction or occupation? Such questions can be even more anxiety-causing if athletes have injuries and need surgery or recovery, Cogan says. 【原创·阅读理解】 1.
