I have the body of swimmer Cameron McEvoy of Australia. He competes in the Freestyle relay. I probably would’ve guessed swimmer, to be honest. Although, if I lose a kg, I’m either a female handball player from GB or a female Javelin thrower from Canada. ---

> [@Disheavel](#): > > Clicking around it is interesting to see how the shotputters, discus throwers and hammer throwers go from heaviest to lighter(lightest seems like a misnomer) but their heights don’t change as much. Having just watched SUPERMAN with my daughter, I find it mildly unsettling that our hero’s physical stats – _“six foot four, two hundred twenty-five pounds”_ – are an exact match for a Greek water-polo player. ---

I am most like (within an inch and a few pounds lighter) two male weightlifters from North Korea and Indonesia and a female shooter from Hong Kong. The former aren’t too far off either (besides the gender), since while I am not a professional weightlifter (i.e. all ripped), I do lift weights for the exercise and muscles. And no, I’ve never used a gun in my life. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-olympian-are-you/630284.md?page=1)
