Something Fun: Team GB’s Sport Profiler

My friends over at Fitness First have created a Sports Profiler to tell you which Olympic Sport you are. After answering a series of questions, such as whether you’re Ox-strong or not, it spits out the Olympic Sport you’d be best at.

The questions cover skills such as strength, agility and power. It takes a few minutes and provides a nice distraction. On the website, you can also explore Fitness First’s free training programmes, sign up for a free session and find your nearest club.

So what Olympic Sport am I best suited to…?

This made me laugh. I’m like a drowning cat when I swim (I shiver at the thought of water over my head) and open water also sounds suspiciously like swimming in places that are OPEN TO WILDLIFE. Like sharks, jellyfish, eels and seaweed. Which I class as wildlife as it acts like it’s alive when it slithers up beside you and grabs your ankles *screams* Whilst I’m not about to grab my bikini and dive straight in, it has inspired me to go for a swim.

The British Olympic Association (BOA) is the National Olympic Committee (NOC) for Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It was formed in 1905 in the House of Commons and at that time consisted of seven National Governing Body (NGB) members from the following sports: fencing, life-saving, cycling, skating, rowing, athletics, rugby, football and archery.  The BOA now includes as its members the 35 NGBs of each Olympic sport, both summer and winter. Great Britain is one of only five countries to have been represented at each summer Olympic Games since 1896 and Great Britain, France and Switzerland are the only countries to have been present at all Olympic Winter Games since 1924. Great Britain has also played host to three Olympic Games, each held in London in 1908, 1948 and 2012, making our capital the only city to have staged the Games on three separate occasions. The BOA is one of 205 NOCs currently recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Their role is to lead the promotion of Olympism in accordance with the Olympic Charter, which details the philosophy, aims and traditions of the Olympic Movement.
