Olympic Athlete Body Match Reminds Us Athletes Come in All Sizes
Although most of us are not world-class athletes, we might be the shape and size of an Olympic competitor.An app on the BBC website takes into account your height and weight and will determine which Olympicathlete your body type resembles.
Granted, being the same size as U.S. women’s swimming competitor Breeja Larson or U.S. rhythmic gymnastics competitor Julie Zetlin won’t get you a spot on any Olympic team, it could prove to remind us that working out and being athletic is not exclusive to certain body types.
The data contains the entire team for Great Britain — the tallest, shortest, heaviest and lightest competitors, plus 10% from all the other Olympic teams.
The web-based application was developed by the BBC, with data provided by the Press Association.
If you want to tell the world you’re as tall as men’s basketball player Zhaoxu Zhang from China, you can post the app’s comparison on Twitter and Facebook.
