   So what? The claim was that there exist quite a few world-class vegan   
   athletes. The claim is correct.

   Big deal. I correctly pointed out that there exist quite a few world-   
   class vegan athletes. This is relevant because it shows that not every   
   vegan is "sickly". I have already established that their claims that   
   veganism is unhealthy are unfounded.

   Wrong.
