Who is your olympic body match?

I got the athletic shooters Yuriy Yurkov, Matthew Emmons and sprint canoeist Serik Mirbekov!!

Apparently I have the build of a gun toting Asian.

So 50% accurate.

Track cycling and rugby sevens – not bad, although never ridden on a track!

a ****ing golfer.

kill me now.

golf!

I got an Asian shooter too, but deep down it’s got to be this guy for most of us.

Ha ha. I look EXACTLY like my match…

If I add 20 years, and drop 1″, I seem to do a lot better.

Good work, BBC.

This is my match apparently. Marius Cocioran – Race walker.
Yep, I’m that slim, definitely, no doubt about that 😉

Weightlifters and shooters…

This guy apparently. Yup, my physique EXACTLY.

Surprisingly (not) I’m a match for a Serbian water polo player and two Team GB rowers. That’s what you get for being 1.97m tall and weighing 97 kilos.

I’m ok at rowing, but have never played water polo.

Eddie the Eagle

A Lithuanian canoeist with no hair? Or a Swedish Handballer with a mullet? Hmph.

Im happy with Valverde…

No-one since they refused to accept Sumo as an Olympic sport again!!!!

A canoe sprinter, handball-ist, and rugby 7’s player.
All about 1 decade younger than me.

that walkers not walking!

I got a Portuguese judoist and Georgian and Iranian wrestlers.

Not surprising really at 100kgs!!

Yury Shcherbatsevich -Belarus- shooting
Harry Aikines-Aryeetey -GB- athletics
Jaime Yusept Espinal -Puerto Rico- wrestling

Seems optimistic tbh.

Unsurprisingly: heavyweight wrestlers, Judoka & weightlifters.

Fairly good match…

I got Bradley Wiggins. I wish …

And a Mexican volleyballer called Jesus 🙂

that walkers not walking!

Not even one foot down.

match 3 julien absalon.

Pretty happy with that, oh and i’ve got 4 years on him. None of the speed or skill though!

I got the same three as bongohoohaa!

Clare Balding.

The javelin

I’ve got Philippe Gilbert as match 2, +10 years unfortunately 🙂

I got an Asian shooter too, but deep down it’s got to be this guy for most of us.

You’re not kidding!!!

If only i had Clancy’s FTP to match his height and weight

2 Shooters and a fencing chap

Yeah man…..don’t **** with me! 8)

(30 years ago, I probably had that physique, but its been re-proportioned/arranged a bit since then! 🙁 )

Ed Clancey
Rafa Nadal
Jeffrey julmis

Funnily enough, Ed Clancy was in my year at high school. Our careers took rather different paths after that…

Well they don’t do they? For some reason I was recently reading about the rules for race walking, and apparently it’s only a foul if a human judge can see both feet off the floor, so they’re allowed a certain amount of flight based on human perception. Apparently they train to be just within those rules, rather than to actually try and keep both feet on the floor – well you would, wouldn’t you, but they’re not actually training to walk.
