The BBC have got quite a nice app for comparing your height and weight with a sample of the current Olympians.:

Your Olympic athlete body match

I seem to be matched with three footballers and a 400m relay athlete.

I am most like Jess Varnish, Team GB Track cycling Keirin!

Jaded · « **Reply #2 on:** 31 July, 2012, 02:25:31 pm »

Kevin Sireau. Or a rower.

Tim Hall · « **Reply #3 on:** 31 July, 2012, 02:34:44 pm »

Sir Chris Hoy. Oh yes.

I'm a male (!) gymnast .....

Suppose thats what comes of being a short and squat muscular lady ...

JT · « **Reply #5 on:** 31 July, 2012, 02:43:36 pm »

I'm either a rower or a shooter.

No amount of fiddling with my weight could make me a cyclist, which explains a lot.

Deano · « **Reply #6 on:** 31 July, 2012, 02:44:35 pm »

A 100m sprinter, a cyclist, a Chinese weightlifter or a female canoeist!

I appear to be one of the hobbits from the opening ceremony...

simonp · « **Reply #8 on:** 31 July, 2012, 02:50:58 pm »

German fencer or British handball player.

Pretty close to the middle/middle.

I'm most like a sailor, an athlete, and a footballist. Unfortunately they're all women.

I always liked to kid myself I was built like a Columbian hill-climbing cyclist, therefore the program is obviously faulty.

TimC · « **Reply #10 on:** 31 July, 2012, 03:13:13 pm »

A female shot-putter. Hungarian, natch. Oh dear!

In my emaciated state after Sunday's 12h tt, I'm either a hockey player or a swimmer, both of whom are women.

If I add 1kg on to factor in a bit of recovery, I'm another female hockey player.

My dad used to play hockey, maybe I got that bit from him and the woman bit from my mum? Anyway, if I slouch a bit I become a Hungarian cyclist. I think that's the one I like best.

I must be one of the cops guarding the place - it told me that I'd eaten too many doughnuts :

Apparently I have the body of a female beach volleyball player

which in some contexts could be a good thing

Sadly not this one

Regulator · « **Reply #14 on:** 31 July, 2012, 03:54:56 pm »

I'm a hammer thrower...

Biggsy · « **Reply #15 on:** 31 July, 2012, 03:59:31 pm »

I'm Kim Crow, a tall female rower.

bobb · « **Reply #16 on:** 31 July, 2012, 04:06:37 pm »

I'm Daryna Zevina - a Female Ukrainian swimmer.

Interestingly, her height is listed as 5ft 12in

L CC · « **Reply #17 on:** 31 July, 2012, 04:12:35 pm »

Canoeist. I'm stunned. I'd assumed Sumo wrestler.

Riggers · « **Reply #18 on:** 31 July, 2012, 04:12:40 pm »

I'm Paul Charles who, when he isn't being a mass murderer (looking at his photo), is an equestrian.

Jacomus · « **Reply #19 on:** 31 July, 2012, 04:14:43 pm »

I'm Gemma Spofforth, Team GB Swimmer.

What a brilliant surname

In wrestling related news: Michelle Obama, once again proves that she is jawsome by letting a Team USA wrestler pick her up!

Juan Martín · « **Reply #20 on:** 31 July, 2012, 04:19:20 pm »

I too am a 5' 12" female swimmer or alternatively Savanah Leaf, British volleyballer. Another brilliant name.

I'm not over-weight.

I'm under-tall.

I have the body-shape of an ex-athlete who has found Real Ale and taken up commentary/punditry. (Think Matthew Pinsent when he "pulled the rip-cord" after his last Olympics.) Except I was never really an athlete in the first place.

Winston Gordon, Team GB, Judo. I'll settle for that

teethgrinder · « **Reply #24 on:** 31 July, 2012, 06:31:57 pm »

Tunisian wrestler, British diver or Irish equestrian for me.
