Mexican gymnast who weighs just 99lbs is targetted by vicious body-shamers in cruel tweets labeling her 'fat' and comparing her to a 'pig'

Alexa Moreno, 22, competed for Mexico in the artistic gymnastics qualifications in Rio - a category few Mexicans ever compete in. A few trolls took to social media to criticize her 4'11", 99lb body - which is actually at the low end of the 'healthy' range. 


One compared her to a pig, while another said she should have dieted before the Olympics. Many more people, though, rushed to her defense and congratulated her on her enormous accomplishment.
