I came out as closest match to a shooter and two fencers - quite cool, as a fencer myself!

Two athletes and a swimmer.

I can't swim.

A fat golfer I've never heard of, hard to argue..

I was watching the men's diving the other night with my wife and 16 year old daughter and was surprised at the amazing physique of the competitors. They all seemed to have square tits and a six pack, which puzzled me as I wouldn't have expected them to be so ripped when all they have to do is fall off a platform and then let gravity do the rest.

It was noticeable that my daughter in particular seemed to be paying particularly close attention to the action, but when questioned about the scores didn't seem to have any idea about what was actually going on.

After the diving finished they turned over to the men's gymnastics , at which point I was started to feel somewhat unfit/under-developed and felt the need for a comforting cushion to cover my non-ripped tummy.

Most of my body matches seem to be shooters, which just confirms my long-held belief that shooting doesn't belong in the Olympics.

I match with:-

• 1- Henrique Avancini - Mountain biking
• 2- Paixao Afonso - Sailing
• 3- Pardeep Mor - Hockey

I like bikes, just not mountain biking, but would give sailing and hockey a go

 

[raleighnut]

2 shooters and a track cyclist.

 

[John the Monkey]

Marathon Swimming, Basketball and Athletics.

At least two of those are on dry land.

 

[rugby bloke]

2 shooters and a diver and there was me thinking I had the perfect physique for a track cyclist !

 

[Harry_Palmer79]

Two cyclists (one track, one mtb) and a footballer... not sure how significant any of that is!

 

[Paul139]

Water Polo and Wrestling!! Better change the lycra cycling shorts for some glitzy wrestling trunks!!

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Greg Rutherford would be devastated if he ever met me, there is no way I have the same body shape as him.

 

[potsy]

A shooter and two weightlifters...

Yeah I got a couple of weight lifters too

 

[biggs682]

a table tennis player

 

[mjr]

A boxer, a steeplechaser and a race walker... and if I was younger, the walker would be replaced by a cross-country runner. Funny: distance running was maybe my second-favourite at school but I was never that quick and my knees were never really up to it.
