If you could have an Olympic physique...?

Olivia_WebMD_Staff posted:

The 2012 Olympic Games is in full swing in London, and most of us are tuning in for our favorite sports and athletes.

WebMD has some interesting articles, videos and quizzes about the Olympics that you might enjoy. Here are just a few:

Quiz: Test What You Know About The 2012 Olympics

Doping with Muscle Building Drugs FAQ

So, let's have some fun with the Olympics topic. Here are a few questions for the group:

1) What is your favorite Olympic sport?

2) Who is your favorite Olympic athlete?

3) If you could wake up tomorrow with the physique of ANY Olympic athlete or one that is indicative of a certain sport (swimmer, triathlete, gymnast, etc.) which would you choose?

Happy Monday!

Love to watch men's and women's gymnastics and diving - the things the human body can do is amazing to me.

I'm in love with Missy Franklin - she seems like such a down to earth kid.

Can I please wake up and look like a beach volleyball Olympian?

I do not know any atheletes by name, but my favorite sport is the equestrian. I love the dressage, it's so beautiful. The cross country and the stadium jumping are spectacular too. My favorite rider is the woman I believe on the Saudi team. She is the first woman to compete on the equestrian team. I find that such a wonderful milestone!

I'd love to have a beach volleyball body. But I'd wear a less revealing top. Even with the new rules allowing them to wear real clothing, their nips are showing. I dont think that looks nice. I guess Im just too modest!

Both of my daughters were awesome vb athletes in middle and high school. I need Olympics to feed my addiction to watching VB! And its not too bad watching the Men's beach players!

1. Gymnastics

2. Don't really have one

3. Gymnast. I used to have a semi-gymnast's body (5'2" 105 lbs) but after two kids and being over 40, I no longer do. I'd just like to have my old body back.
