It asks for your weight, age and height and picks an Olympian out just like you. Fear not, the most vertically challenged is 4"4' and tallest 7"2, weight between 5st and 26st, and age, there appears to be an Olympian who is 62!!! bbc.co.uk so my body match is a guy called Adam Pattantyus, Sport: Table Tennis, fromHungary He's bald too :-)!

I don't know whether to feel proud or insulted
