Overview

• Megos discloses his eating disorder publicly in Die Welt and writes about it in his book Frei am Fels, which is due in early October from Edel Sports.
• He says the illness developed gradually in his mid‑teens and that he only recognized the problem around his 18th birthday.
• At his worst he weighed about 45 kilograms, and he describes withdrawing from social life and trying to sleep to avoid hunger.
• He now considers himself roughly 98 percent recovered and says he can lose a few kilograms for projects and then regain the weight without difficulty.
• Coverage places his account in a wider sport concern, noting climbing’s ongoing issues with disordered eating and that federations are seeking more decisive action due to health risks.
