Your analysis doesn't hold water.That's a nutty assumption...... She said "if i drank too much water the day before, i control the intake the next day"..... How do you know she did not drink MORE than the required 5 liters, maybe 7 liters and now needs to take it easy? "too much" is subjective ......
And yet we haven’t heard of a problem. I think a knowledge of physiology would help. Our kidneys are capable of a lot. Plus it’s a workout so some is lost through sweat.
I don’t know if you haven’t heard of that problem, but I have.
Your understanding of the word "analysis" needs adjustment..Your analysis doesn't hold water.
Sorry. I could not resist.
Oh, i read quite a long blog discussion once (within last 2-3 years) where pair skaters were talking about lifts, and pressure on various points around the abdomen area, and liquid accidents and "when not to drink" and what can happen if you drink too much or too close to comp or practice..I think I just learned more than I wanted to know. Thanks for that! Not sure how I can get out of my head thinking of my favourite skaters having leaks and stains..
... and then singles skaters joined in about "what happens inside you when you take a hard fall on your butt, or rather what you can't control inside you".. 
Did someone have an arrhythmia? Was an ambulance called? Hello electrolyte water?
The problem is the sodium levels in the blood. The person start feeling hot, have a headache, feel clammy, nausea, possibly vomiting. Then it can lead to swelling in the brain, seasures, coma and possibly death.
So how often has this happened in the context of this thread, elite skaters? Do you honestly think that this situation is applicable to Zagitova?
But I never said that Zagitova is approaching anything this catastrophic. As I said above, I am responding to a poster who believes that one can drink unlimited water. That’s not correct, one can’t unless the person wants to play with their health.
I haven’t read the translation, just the original
The truth is..... Zagitova does not eat and does not drink... she only sucks on lemons...
Skaters and athletes do have a liquid consumption regiment... it prevents "leaks" and "stains" during practice and competitions. That's why it is often so hard for them to produce a sample for a drug test right after an event..
Oh wow, you Googled and found two confirned cases? Even fewer than I thought and even more irrelevant to Zag.There are cases of athletes who have died after drinking large amounts of water/sports drinks.

There are several more examples from a basic Google search.
Everything should be in moderation and athletes especially should be aware of their own hydration needs. With that being said, I don't think she is drinking several gallons of water everyday.
re the intricate Alina water-intake discussion. I thought there were a lot more interesting things to discuss about that interview than Alina's reference to her water intake. 
This! Thank you!
Oh, so now we move the argument from ‘it doesn’t matter if one drinks too much water’ to ‘it is not relevant’? Maybe you should have started with basic google search to save time and energy on this discussion? If you don’t know, don’t argue about it!
The argument was that it’s irrelevant all along. Maybe you should have worked on your reading comprehension skills to save time and energy on this discussion. See post #28. Seriously, which part is unlear? That this is an extreme occurrence or that it has no bearing on Zagitova?
There is no need to be rude.
kindly show me where I said it’s impossible to OD on water. Do people just fire at will on this thread without reading or what...There is no need to be rude.
Drinking too much water and dying from it is totally possible in some cases. It does happen in athletes and there are more than two cases if you google it. This is unlike the widespread assumption that no one can ever die from drinking too much water which was being discussed upthread. How can that be???... Water is good for you! You can pee all of it out. etc.
However, I did say that I don’t think Zagitova is doing that. Those are two different arguments which you are deliberately trying to misunderstand.
Really? I though the fact that she gave a lengthy interview and all people are talking about is google searches on deadly water intake that has noting to do with her sums up zag's career perfectly

....... and now they are both rich and two of the most beautiful..
partially its the structured "bust cups" on Diana Davis' dress which Alina borrowed...There is no need to be rude.
