Your Olympic athlete body match

Now that the London 2012 Olympics are over you have gotten to know many of the Olympians. Here’s your chance to see how you measure up with them. The BBC created a really cool tool that matches your body size with one of the 2012 Olympic athletes. All you have to do is input your height (in meters or feet) and weight (in kilograms, pounds or stones) and they will tell you which athlete is closest to your size. There were 10,500 athletes in this year’s Games so they weren’t able to input everyone’s data just the whole Team GB and 10% of athletes from all the other Olympic teams. You will see that Olympic athletes come in all shapes and sizes, from the graceful limbs of Japan’s Asuka Teramoto to the giant frame of China’s Zhaoxu Zhang. FYI: I was closest to Tomohiko Hoshina, a Judo practitioner from the Philippines.
