I always watch the Olympics. But now that I am on this weight loss journey I find myself paying attention to the body types of the athletes as well as the sports they are playing. It is amazing to see how they are all so in shape, but their shapes are all so different. Sport specific training makes it so you can almost idenify the sport they play by the shape of their bodies.

What sport body do you want to look most like? Or find most appealing?

Forgot to say, the whole body strength of gymnists is appealing to me along with the slender frames of long distance runners.

    Swimmers?

    Michael Phelps I think has a great body until you see his face.

    But yeah swimmers. Like broad shoulders.

    Admittedly the guys' bodies aren't what gets most of my attention, but...

    I'm too tall to be a gymnast, so swimmer sounds good to me. Lean but not overly bulky.

    The male swimmers are definately appealing to look at. What I am not sure about is the female ones....do they not have boobs, or is it that the suits are so tight that everything is pushed flat?

    I usually think that the best looking female athletes are swimmers and tennis players. Though there are hotties in other sports.

    As for my own body type, I will also stick with tennis players and swimmers, because those are two sports I'm involved with. I will also play volleyball and basketball from time to time.

    They burn so much fat that boobs are missing. My best guess; gymnasts have no boobs either.

    Men: swimmers and gymnast. Or really anything that shows off those backs and biceps ;)

    Women: the rowers. They are very slender, but still have beautifully strong arms

    I think Louis Smith, gymnast for Great Britain, is really, really, really attractive.

    Swimmers for sure...they are tall and muscular and yummy.

    And I love the women's bodies too...fit and strong! And rocking their swim suits.

    I was watching some of the mens swimming yesterday and really envied their long, lean, muscular look.

    As for most appealing...I'm watching women's beach volleyball (US vs ARG) and find all of those women VERY appealing! :noway:
