Mephistopholes Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 And that's why distance running isn't good for you. Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Sharkey Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 The most surprising thing about this, to me anyway, is that trampoline is an Olympic sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royz Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I'm missing the huge handed athlete that is most suited for gripsport. Very interesting though to see all those vastly different body types. All perfectly build for their own sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifesnotfair Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I had seen this many years ago, and I have to agree with Wannagrip, the marathoners have a horrible body in my humble opinion. But it's their choice, so I respect that. If you google (images) the words "marathoner vs. sptiner" you will notice that for many years people have been making pictures comparing the bodies of one vs. the other, and it is indeed a very remarkable difference. Most sprinters are quite muscular even in the upper body department, while the marathoner's muscles are usually tiny (except the heart which I think actually GROWS from that sport... another reason not to do it perhaps?). Another fun fact is I've seen a few studies (if they can be called that) where it was found that sprinters are also actually leaner, meaning a lower bodyfat %. Sprinting is awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Walker Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I will say this, I prefer the marathoner to the hammer thrower... That is a whole lot a woman! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Ruby Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I will say this, I prefer the marathoner to the hammer thrower... That is a whole lot a woman! Hah though most hammer throwers are not that overweight. It takes a lot of explosive power and technique more then just raw strength. Its one of the events I like to watch in person and especially when the olympics come around Here is the current world and olympic champion. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I don't have the link but there is one out there where you type in your height and weight and it sort of compares that to the Olympics games athletes that closely match those specs. I am close to Olympic rowers as much as anything. Now if I just had any rowing ability . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mephistopholes Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 At my current weight around 200 It has me as a swimmer, at my heavier weight of 220 (where I'm trying to get back to) it has me as a kayak-er. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
