Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Apparently my match is Giovanni Pelliolo, an Italian shooter. He's a year younger but a couple of kilos heavier. Strangely enough, we were watching the trap shooting the other night and MrsC said I ought to get back into shooting as it could be my ticket to Japan! :-)

My other matches were both weightlifters. Whilst that's not out of the question, I note that I'm giving them 15 & 25 years respectively, which might (just might) be insurmountable.

I get a German shooter, an Egyptian shooter and a Chinese archer - I think basically it is telling me I should try sports which don't involve actually moving - where my short legs are a distinct disadvantage!

No-one matches my age although 15 athletes share my birthday.
I get 2 runners - an Aussie and a German who are nearly half my age and an Italian sailor who's less than half my age.

I got a Spanish triathlete, a Spanish horse rider and a Colombian athlete. None of whom I have heard of. I am the same age as ten athletes and share a birthday with sixteen.

Just for fun, I did the same search but for female Olympians and got a Ukranian athlete and table tennis player, plus a Swiss beach volleyball player. Interesting!

No one shares my age, but I matched with an Italian badminton player, a Brazilian Shooter and a Dutch BMX rider! I am also only a kg heavier than the average weight, which suprised me!

I got 3 physical matches- a water polo player, a wrestler and a weight lifter. They are all young enough to be my daughters. I'm going with water polo because she has short hair
