Which Olympian is your body most like?

Just for fun here's something from the BBC website.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-19050139

Shane Lowry might get a shock here.

Chris Paul...An American Basketball player!!! (I am only 6 foot!)

What was yours SR?

Francesco Foraldo - Italian Judo exponent

Well considering i'm half italian the same height as him and also do martial arts i'll take that.

I reakon some of these thin lads we have on here will come out like female high jumpers!!

Tom Cleverly for me, although I'm obviously better looking

I think there will be a few that come out as ladies mysti, i'm sure there was a female water polo player on mine along with francesco but obviously I went for the manly one lol

Haha...

Andrew Osagie, British 800 metres runner.

Shane Lowry comes out as a horse from the Equestrian team

My brother comes out as Stephanie Tirode.... A short fat french shooter....


I think thats fairly accurate for him

EDIT: Oh and thats a woman.

Bit of a chunkster is Cleverly......

The heaviest athlete is 35 stone and does judo!!!

The tallest is a chinese lad!!!!!!!!! -7 foot 2 basketball player

It's says Rory Warlaw for me but I have never heard of him?.

I'm Casanova which sounds good until you find they're an Italian female water polo player. Much better to say I'm Daniel Brata, a Romanian judo exponent.

I got US female hockey player Michelle Cesan. (1.73, 67kg)

Although I actually have no idea how tall I am or what I weigh so it could be wrong, I seem to remember I may actually be 1.75. But my 1.73 came from thinking I was 5 foot 8.


As for super, if he resembles tom cleverly he must be 1.75m and 67kg. (5’9’’, 10’5’’). Super that more than likely makes us the same build, and you had the cheek to poke fun when I said I was trying to loose a couple of kg’s.

Mac, 5'11, 73 KG. Prime shape mate.

I suspect you meant you had to tone up than lose weight.

Damien Hooper - Aussie Light Heavyweight boxer. Quite happy with that. Others were two hockey players (male) and a badminton player.

A bit scrawny though, don't you think? There are probably muscle bound rugger players who look down on your physique much like you look down on Lowry's.

Super

They must have made an error with Tom cleverly's data as he is about 5'9 at most.

So what your telling us mac is that you resemble the javalin?

Incontinent, at least I am in shape, and fine shape too, a utilitarian athletic physique capable of partaking in most sports apart from the pointless ones like Rugby where I am probably too lightweight but which are only done by people not coordinated enough to do more skillfull sports

Lowry's shape disgusts me.

Mark LEWIS-FRANCIS for me. Could be a lot worse! Though, I'm definitely not a sprinter

QEII, British parachuter.

Neither is MLF these days. Probably the porkiest track athlete in the world.

I'm sure there's an insult woven in there somewhere. Luckily for me, I chose rugby and not track!

James Goddard - GB Swimmer (200m IM)

The only insult is to MLF mate, not your good self. A sadly unfulfilled talent...though he does have an Olympic gold so its not all bad.

haha I'm joking pal. He does look like a proker when stood next to the others sprinters mind, bit too much and I fear.

How many press ups or chin ups can you do?

press ups- lots, sit ups- hundreds, chin ups, not many, three to four proper ones perhaps ,although I've done a lot of indoor climbing so what I lack in chin ups I make up for in general strength and agility. Couldn't do the sort of things I like doing if i was a pie eating rugby playing size.

I do hope that was a joke, otherwise, why the pointless dig? Evidently, you've never played rugby, because you'd have realised it's a sport for any shape person with any particular skill set. If you couldn't find a position that suited you, sadly, you're probably not born to play sport.

Press ups has gotta be easy with that weight- Its like picking up a 6 iron

There is something very gay and vain about guys worrying or bragging about how their body looks.

Its no shame to get Claire Balding lorus- just admit it

That is so true, it's like a man c0ck measuring thing isn't it.

Its all a balance, there is something pretty slovenly and gross about a bloke not caring abut how his body looks as well.
Just have to find that happy medium, anything gotta rush, Im just off for a sack, crack and back and a spray tan darlings......

Someone need to have serious word with the lad
