Pretty amazing Olympic record, 23 Gold medals, 3 Silver and 2 Bronze.

I saw something on the BBC website that said he is 6'4", but has the torso of someone 6'8", with the arm-span of someone 6'7" and the legs of someone 6'0" tall. On top of the super long torso and arms and short legs, his ankles are double jointed which gives him an extra 15° of mobility which means his feet are like flippers. On top of all of that, he creates lactic acid at 1/2 the rate of most folks, so his muscles recover faster which allows him to perform at or near peak level multiple times a day without a recovery time like most folks.

Pretty darn amazing guy. .

Technically considering the Olympic athletes are the best of the best athletes in the world that puts them in the top 10% or so of the human race but yes... many of them have odd body shapes that makes them the best at what they do.

But as they say... you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover... (IMHO)

I suspect many little boys would love this and many girls would run from the table. What do I know, I never had a sister.
