Little widget thing on the BBC site that tells you what you should be doing... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-28062001
Apparently I should be playing squash or maybe boxing. Advises against long distance athletics. Guess what my main sport is these days?
cycling middle distance, followed by cycling sprint with middle distance athletics in 3rd.
Pretty good really
hockey, rugby (no surprise) and long distance cycling....go figure.. 😆
1, Throwing, 2, Rugby sevens*, 3, Wrestling, spose it's right in a way but maybe i underestimated my stamina.
*I'm more of a prop than a winger so maybe 15's would be a better option!
Squash for me.
You may be less suited to:
1. Athletics (long-distance) 2. Weightlifting 3. Shooting
1, 2 and 3 I'd say I'm pretty damn unsuited to!
1) Squash
2) Badminton
3) Long Distance Cycling
Triathlon?! Bo****cks to that!
Triathlon!!
My Arse
1) Triathlon
Bastards!!!
I'm assuming the git who wrote the algorithm went -
Are you over 40? No Spatial awareness?
Other suggested options were
2) Long distance athletics.
3) Shooting [s]people[/s] things
For me...
1) Wrestling
2) Judo
3) Middle distance swimming
Say's I'd be no good at shooting though, which I did for 15 years and won a few medals!
Wrestling. Squash. Judo.
Eh? Hand to hand combat? Never been in a fight in my life.
1.Middle distance cycling
2.Triathlon
3.Swimming
Pretty good really as a now cycling lapsed triathlete.
Not so good at Shooting, Gymnastics or Lawn Bowls(my mum won't be happy)
Hockey, Netball, Rugby Sevens.
Less apt for Athletics (long-distance), Shooting, Triathlon
Can't say I'm shocked by that 😀
Bear in mind it's only picked from the list osports at the Commoncwealth Games though - I prefer Volleyball though I did try to find a mixed netball club when I lived in That London, struggled to find one so ended up training with a Korfball club for a season.
Funnily enough, I've been considering going down to the Rugby Club with one of my mates to have a go at their Saturday afternoon touch rugby session. I've not played rugby since I was about 13 and then it was proper rugby, not sure what the Union rules are for Touch Rugby?
Apparently being short, slow and weak makes you suited to triathlon 😆
Good at middle distance running, rubbish at gymnastics. About right.
Athletics (throwing)
Rugby 7's
Netball
How do they go together?
Hockey, apparently. Rugby 7s (I do play touch rugby) and er... netball.
I quite enjoyed, and was ok at, hockey at school. Haven't played since though.
Squash.
lawn bowls!
Funny thing about that Triathlon option.
Nowhere in that quiz does it ask if you can swim...
Nowhere in that quiz does it ask if you can swim...
Or ride a bike.
badminton, squash and judo! been playing badminton this year aswell, pretty accuarate test, though no mention of cycling or moutain biking is dissappointing! Guess it doesn't think us big boned chaps are capable! 😀
Table tennis, netball and badminton. Think I'd prefer volleyball
Ruby sevens, throwing, hockey
The first two I did at school and rugby at Uni and for club - although 7s was only a side attraction to proper union and league. I am however 48, so sevens would kill me.
Unsuited to long distance athletics, shooting and triathlon. Probably fair assessment tbh - or at least of me 25/30 years ago
Hockey...........or shooting, long distance running or bowls FFS! But then I am old!
No mention of cycling interestingly....thought it would be an ideal sport for me.
Apparently I should be a cyclist, specialising as a sprinter. I'll take that...

You must have got Molgrip's results by mistake.
It suggested I'm suited for netball and lawn bowls!
And apparently I'm not suited for long-distance athletics. Funny that, I was 5th Vet in my running club 5k championship last month 🙂
Ah bollocks! Well suited to boxing, not suited to long distance athletics.
Pitty I'm doing an iron distance triathlon on Sunday.
Wrestling, netball! and badminton.
Not suited to long distance athletics, weightlifting or shooting.
So I really shouldn't be doing long distance triathlons then?!
@ Onnzadog - Outlaw? Me too 🙂
Mine said:
- Athletics (throwing)
- Rugby 7's
- Middle distance cycling.
Which is quite apt for someone who played rugby front row for 20 years including a lot of 7's, used to do discuss and shot at county level as a lad and now prefers cycling!
@mary hinge, outlaw indeed. Number 613. Say hello or stop and help if you see me.
Weather looks "refreshing" towards the end.
Shooting
Long distance running
Lawn Bowls.
WTF?
Long distance cycling
Judo?
Middle distance cycling
Darts.
Beach Volley Ball.
Feng Shui.
Thanks Beeb, but I think I'll stick to riding a bike when there's nothing on the telly. Which is most of the time.
Wrestling 😆 No.
Ridiculous random answer generator. Hockey? Played it a couple of times at school and that's it.
I should be doing boxing, wrestling or judo. Those that know me would probably say that would be somewhat short-lived as a sporting endeavour 😀
Apparently I'm not suited to lawn bowls, which is disappointing.
Yak - MemberRidiculous random answer generator. Hockey? Played it a couple of times at school and that's it.
It's not trying to guess sports you do, it's suggesting sports that might suit you.
Swimming (very much so) - not suited to gymnastics (can't sit down without falling over) or bowling
1. Rugby 7's (have played that till injury)
2. Hockey (Do play that regularly)
3. Long distance cycling (yup, kind of)
actually not a representation of what i do / have done
@ onzadog 991 here. Fractured metatarsal 5 weeks ago so the run might be an issue! Any chance of a piggy back?
1. lawn bowls
2. cycling (middle distance)
3. athletics (middle distance)
The thing is clearly rubbish - it suggested Netball 😳
In fairness Hockey was second choice and that was the game I played longest/at the highest level in my (cough) sporting career
The wrong ones apparently.................
Hockey
Squash
Cycling (long distance)
hmmmmm. 😀
Wrestling. I can't imagine a sport less appealing but who am I to argue? so I've just been practicing my microphone technique " if ya smeeeeeeeeeeeell what the Rock is cookin'!!"
Wrong wrestling?
@mary hinge. Pinched peroneal nearve for several weeks. Fancy doing the run as a 3-legged race?
wrestling, judo, squash
hmmm... no - I think the 'how agressive are you' question is skewing the results because the idea that a 71 bloke would want to wrestle is a bit odd frankly
Middle distance cycling
Middle distance swimming
Long distance swimming
Spot on for the first one, totally wrong for the second two. I loathe swimming and was hopeless at it when I tried triathlons.
Squash
Badminton
Table Tennis
Which sounds about right to be honest.
You may be less suited to:
1. Shooting (used to do a fair bit of this)
2. Weightlifting (really, I'm so disappointed)
3. Athletics (long-distance) (phew)
Well despite their best advice I did a fell race last night and didn't disgrace myself - stitch that BBC! 😉
Lawn bowls, shooting and netball - cos I'm old and fat!! 🙁
I got wrestling. Then Squash. Both of which I hate with a passion. I do hope no-one in the wider world is taking it at all seriously.
1) Triathlete - Goes against two of my principals. Don't run unless you are being chased. And don't swim, your not very good at it.
2) Middle distance cycling
3) Long distance cycling
Not a bad 2 and 3 though
Has anybody had Kabaddi suggested yet?
Athletics throwing events (I used to play a decent standard of cricket and had a bit of a missile arm on me, so that makes sense). Netball (wtf). And wrestling(?)
Table Tennis? Wrong. My septagenarian father destroys me at table tennis. Judo? Only if can do it with crocs ziptied to feet. Am sticking to swimming, they missed that one. Lawn bowls on the horizon tho, have had my eye on it for decades....just that the people who play it so often look somewhat uptight, yet in a relaxed fashion. Unnerving.
Judo (maybe)
Wrestling (maybe)
Table Tennis (used to at school)
So not that far out really.
Trowing things, netball???????? & wrestling.
I played rugby to a reasonable standard, I'm a sprinter not any kind of long distance athlete, which is why I struggle running or riding any great distance. They missed swimming, but I do fancy judo or Brazilian Ju-Jitsu, but not sure if my back is capable TBH.
