Guest Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Has anyone else seen the page on the BBC website that calculates the athlete closest to your body type? Apparently mine is a male Indonesian weightlifter.As soon as I finish laughing I'm off to join the diet support group thread...http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-19050139Apologies for duplication if someone has posted this already.

Loz Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Mine is a Trindad and Tobago sprinter in the 100m. Huh? These days, breaking into anything resembling a jog is, frankly, beyond me.

Guest Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Considerably more so, and shorter with it. Oh well, I suppose I should be glad it didn't come up with a powerlifter.

ianr Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Huh, I'd been half thinking of writing a script to get the same info from the official website. Suppose I've got no excuse for not going shopping now. Glad to see I match a cyclist. They might have included date and place of birth though.
