You’re a professional athlete, I’m afraid body shape does matter.

Not as bad as this idiot who cried and whaled (literally) because she was dropped because she couldn't reach a basic fitness requirement

Is there no end to the bitching and whining these days? Yeah, let’s do away with fitness tests completely then shall we? Everyone gets a rosette.

I call her ‘Flan’.

Haven't read this but assumed the point was that some people who are actually fit will always look heavy, Wayne Rooney being a good example in the men's game

Why would a cricketer need to be able to hit a 2k running target. Don't they juts stand around for mist of a match? Saying that, she says she cut a whole 3 mins off her previous PB which makes me thing: how £#%&!ing slow was she running before?

A good example of a professional who if he didn’t dedicate himself to his profession would naturally be a fatty you mean.

Rooney was quoted as saying he goes on holiday and eats and drinks like everyone else... on 250k (more?) a week you are paid to be an elite athlete and should be a breach of contract.... Olympians sometimes partially fund themselves and won't be found in a burger king at 2am in tenerfie pissed out of their heads...

Must be a Scouse thing



To your point though, this why Pimblett will never get close to being top of his sport (aside from his obvious fighting limitations)

I remember Marlo always had one of those fat skinny bodies didnt he

Thin arms but moobs and a gut. Was very defensive about it too, iirc.

Worst type of body you can have if you're a man.

Equivalent of a big lass with tiny boobs.

Don't doubt it. But he always used to win the bleep tests at United even when he was a fatty. Some people are naturally athletic as well as yfb's in waiting imo
