Anyone else seen this?  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-19050139

It plots your body type (based solely on height/weight) along with a bunch of Olympic athletes, so you can see what sports people like you are doing in the Olympics.

Looks like I should be going for sailing, weightlifting, or judo... or I could be a male artistic gymnast.  Great!

That's awesome Laughing

Water polo for me.  

If I were to get down to 110 for my 5' 9" frame that would be good enough for marathon.  Yikes!  Some people already accuse me of needing a pound or two at 130.  Is that what it would take to run a sub 5 mary??

#1 was athletics... not sure what that is

#2... cyclist. Sweet!

I always knew it was about the bike.

 

Edit: Doh! Athletics, competing in the 4x 100m relay... Crap, it is about the run.

#1 was a rower.

#2 well, was a rower.

But I have to think that their 6'7" and 228 lbs is mostly muscle, as mine?  Well, it's not.

Hey man, 228 at 6' 7" aint too shabby at all!  You're being modest.

Go figure, cycling and running.

If I lose a couple more pounds, I'll match some swimmers too.

Guess it was meant to be :p

Yep, it has been making the rounds of my workplace. Unsurprisingly, I have one perfect match--marathoner Paula Radcliffe. Now if only I had her marathon speed!
