00:00No wonder Elisa never wears underpants during competitions.
00:02She was forced to abide by three rules to win the gold medal.
00:06At this Winter Olympics, viewers noticed that Olympic champion Elisa
00:09seemed to be wearing no underwear while figure skating.
00:12She almost exposed herself during some moves,
00:14but she seemed unconcerned and performed brilliantly.
00:17In reality, this was a rule she had to follow to win the championship.
00:21As a Chinese-American athlete, Elisa chose to join the U.S. team
00:24and won the Women's Singles Figure Skating title,
00:26a title the U.S. had lost for 24 years.
00:29Her actions were 100 times better than Irene's betrayal of the U.S.
00:33However, behind her victory, she made enormous sacrifices.
00:37First, the U.S. figure skating team has strict rules.
00:40They never allow athletes to wear underwear.
00:42Both men and women must wear specially designed leggings to perform.
00:45This is not only for aesthetics, but also to reduce friction during performances.
00:49Second, all the female team members menstruate only once every three months.
00:54They delay their periods three months before competition using medication,
00:57so as not to affect their performance or violate the rules.
01:01Finally, as the athlete with the best chance of winning the championship,
01:04Elisa's coach did not allow her to lose weight.
01:07She meticulously controls her weight daily, down to three decimal places.
01:11Do you prefer Elisa or Eileen?
