they embraced the bodies they were given and worked hard to make the most of the bodies God (or nature, if your prefer) gave them.
Very well put. My daughter and I were discussing that last night. One thing I noticed was their body type determined the sport they excelled in. The swimmers have wide shoulders and slim hips. They also have large hands and feet. Michael Phelps has size 14 shoes. I read somewhere they act like flippers. Gymnast have to be small and light.
Size 16! No wonder he's so good at fly. Crazy crazy.

I remember having one of the olympic gymnasts as a science class table-partner. She was one of the team competition, and I think she got a Silver for her Olympics.
I've been watching teh Olympics too, and I've also been noticing female body types. They do have quite the variety, from the equestrians to the kayakers (is that a word) to every other type. It has made me think about some of my students who are involved in sports. A few of them were diagnosed with PCOS in their freshman year, and it has been interesting watching them change over the four years. One of my former students went from a chunky swimmer in her freshman year and while still incredibly athletic, I can't help but feel sympathy for her as she's fought the battle of the bulge - eating healthy, exercising vigorously, and still the weight creeps on and on. The deck is stacked against them.
I think that one of teh things I felt as an overweight teenager (especially with an olympic gymnast for a table partern) was that I was somehow less worthy.... less worthy of respect, of love, of success.

I chased my dreams, and my dreams, they caught me!
When we went to the Diving trials we noticed how much shorter and densly muscled they were than the swimmers.
My son's body has changed with swimming for 3 years. He is 11 years old and loves the ladiess. (He went on his first date when he was 4). I think a minor motivator keeping him swimming is that he likes the way the older boys bodies look. He thinks it will help him get dates.
