Kind of a fun app from the Beeb... plug in your height/weight and it tells you which Olympian you're most like.

Turns out I should do Women's Judo. :lol: :lol:

Shin a Lam loosing in the fencing last night to Britta Heidermann was pretty sad really.
I really felt bad for her.

Nice find, Si!

Apparently I'm closest to Janice Alatoa - Women's 100m

I've always been weak at running, though...
