The BBC has a “compare your weight to Olympic athletes” app!

Enter your height and weight and see where you plot on the scatter graph of Olympians. I’ve long criticised use of BMI as it is a population stat, not an individual guide. My BMI has been circa 25-26 since is was about 18, but on the “Olympian” plot, I am bang on the centreline… 😀

How “Olympic” is your body mass….

My matches..

– Hugues Dubosqc, French swimmer
– Ross Hutchins, British tennis player

ETA – Damn – missed the other thread

True BMI has it’s downfalls.
But so does comparing ‘the general population’ against Olympians….

DrP
