I thought this was fun! Compare yourself to Olympic athletes:

(Team GB, and 10% of the others).

The smallest woman they have there is a 30 kg/ 66 lb gymnast! So tiny for an athlete! I came out closest to a male canoe sprinter and a female hammer thrower. I have a feeling that their body composition might be slightly different from mine, though!

    I came out as some middle aged shooting lady. Definitely a good motivator to stay on my diet. Maybe next olympics I'll be compared to a gymnast?!

    Seems I am most like Khetag Pliev, a Canadian Wrestler.

    Not sure whether to feel flattered or insulted.

    Maybe he should feel insulted? :laugh:

    I'm jealous!!! :sick:

    I've not heard of her before but I just looked her up, her story is really inspiring :)http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/wales/18398584

    I'm certain she has more muscle and less fat than me, and as it's my goal to lose fat and gain muscle (not so bothered whether my weight stays the same, goes up or goes down so long as I'm gaining muscle and losing fat), and as I'd like to take up martial arts again and I'm British, she can be my inspiration :)

    I had the choice of height match with someone half my weight or a weight match who is a foot taller than me. Hmm, maybe Sumo wrestling should be an Olympic sport and then I would get a better match!
