What's your Olympic height?

Ever wondered how YOU measure up to the Olympians in Rio at the moment?
We found this great APP from Vox.com that takes your height and matches it to your perfect Olympic event based on the height of past Olympians. We tried with MSE team members Dan (6'4") and Eesha (5'2") (as seen below) to see how they 'measured' up. As you can see there was quite the contrast in height so were quite surprised to see that Dan suited 100m sprint, 100m Swim, 1500m track, Judo and weight-lifting coming in at slightly above average heights. Whereas Eesha sized up for 1500 metre track, marathon running and, of course, gymnastics. Why not give it a whirl and check your Olympic height?

The BBC one is far better, takes more than just height into account
