Go to below site and enter your height and weight (don't, ahem, underestimate) and see which 2012 Olympic athlete's body is closest to yours....

I match closest to a Hungarian Judo guy in the 81 kg class.

    I matched up with an Irish sailor. Go figure.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    I matched up to Dr Congo - a Judo fighter. Obviously I know what my body looks like, but I'm still a little put off when I see him because his head is a foot wider than mine is. lol

    I look like a guy that's had a few too many beers in life. He looks like someone that should be 4'10" and 300+ pounds.

    According to the Colbert Report, there is something strange about the Olympics. They start the games with a Half-Time Show. :confused:

    For anyone wondering, T Rex's song, "Bang a Gong"' was NOT written with this young lady in mind.
    I mean that in a good way.

    BTW, under the topic "Did You Know" from that link, here's something you didn't know:

    "With 2,000 athletes competing in 47 events, athletics is the largest single sport at the Games." :eek:

    Okay, back on topic.

    Like an Italian competitor in BMX cycling. Which is a bit ironic since I haven't been allowed to do "any" real aerobic exercise for over two months as I recover from having my Achilles sewn back together!

    I'm also 10 or 15 pounds over my normal weight at this point which makes it even more amusing. I can't believe BMX-ers are this heavy?
