Turnen ist für die dreimalige Olympiateilnehmerin Kim Bui die schönste Sportart der Welt, ihre Karriere war aber auch mit vielen Tränen, Schmerzen und Entbehrungen verbunden. So litt sie jahrelang unter Bulimie, um das geforderte Wettkampfgewicht halten zu können. Die ehemalige deutsche Athletensprecherin beschreibt in ihrem Buch eindringlich, welchen Willen und welcher Leidenschaft es bedarf, um Tag für Tag stundenlang für einen Wettkampf zu trainieren, der nur 45 Sekunden dauert. Was es bedeutet, als olympische Spitzenathletin in bescheidenen wirtschaftlichen Bedingungen zu leben und sich parallel um eine Berufsausbildung zu kümmern. Dabei setzt sie sich auch kritisch mit den Schattenseiten des Turnsports und hochsensiblen Themen wie Sexualisierung, Essstörungen, seelischem Missbrauch und Zukunftsängsten auseinander. Sie legt Wunden offen, ohne verletzend zu sein. Ihr Buch ist ein zutiefst menschlicher Appell an die Gesellschaft, sportliche Leistung auch jenseits der olympischen Medaillenränge wertzuschätzen. 'Ich habe Kim schon immer als eine zielstrebige und meinungsstarke Frau kennengelernt, die sich für andere einsetzt. Selbst ich kannte nicht ihre ganze Geschichte, obwohl wir schon so lange befreundet sind.' Fabian Hambüchen
