Not sure if you've seen this on the BBC website, I thought it rather amusing :bigsmile:

Enter your height and weight, hit enter and you get told which Olympic athlete you're close to!! I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting to match anyone, but surprising I'm most like Joshua Utanga from Cook Islands, a canoe sprinter :noway:

Go on, have a go, who're you a match for

    Mine matched me wrong so I did it manually by pointing at the right square (it got me 10cm taller than I am). I am the same as one female sailer, 2 female swimmers and 2 male athletes. I'm intrigued by the men in there, because that's pretty short for a man!

    OMG Kendra - do you don't know how much this has made me feel like a 'normal' person. Never ever thought I would be close to anyone of that strength and character but apparently I'm most like Jane Mayes competes in HANDBALL. clearly shows you can weight more and still look fab - I just need to work on the looking fab! xx

    Most like a female shooter from Lithuania.
    The two guys I'm nearest to are Rachid Chouhal a 100 metre runner from Malta (At 1.78 metres he's a bit small for a 100 metre runner I would have thought) and Paul Drinkhall a British table tennis player. lol I actually won some medals in table tennis when I was a kid... doh should have kept it up! hehe
