Finally, something meaningful about the Olympics

[Guest]

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...

Apologies for duplication if someone has posted this already.

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

[Guest]

Impressive! Clearly we have very different body types, Loz.

[Loz]

I'm fat and unfit. You?

[Guest]

Considerably more so, and shorter with it. Oh well, I suppose I should be glad it didn't come up with a powerlifter.

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.

[Jeremy]

I had quite a few matches, including a female sailor from Poland.

Ms B, fancy a swap?

[Guest]

I wish I could.

If I only lose 5 pounds I get a gymnast. Still a man, though.

I've been meaning to do this.

" You are most like: Daniel Brata (Judo)

Two footballers and a badminton player.

At least they were all women :)

Hmm I like this calculator......I got a british female 200m sprinter..... Thankfully it didn't ask if my knees were knackered :)

[DaveR]

Uzbek weightlifter

However, if I lose 1kg I am most like a British/Russian lady judo-ist

I'm not sure which I prefer

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

British male weightlifter. Right, I'm off to Timbuctoo.

[Pickle]

North Korean table tennis player here

[maxxi]

I tried this and I got - spectator, row E, the one with the hot dog and the large coke.

[jollybaby]

I'm a male Thai weightlifter! We must have similar builds MsB

[Cassius]

Hannah Whelan and Beth Tweddle and as I am a gymnastics freak I am really pleased.

[jumpinjackflash]

a Nicaraguan swimmer apparently!

Maxxi - that made me laugh!

[Guest]

Jollybaby, I think you may be my forum twin.

[Moos]

Not one but TWO male Chinese tennis players.

*sulks*

[Guest]

I'm thinking closing ceremony forum drinks in fancy dress as your athlete alter ego.

[jumpinjackflash]

I am NOT wearing a cossie!

[Moos]

Let's hope someone gets Sumo, then.
