Shape that sexy Olympic physique
From elastic gymnasts to 100-metre speedsters, the array of physiques on show at the Olympics are as vast as the sporting disciplines.
We take a look at some of the more extreme body shapes to grace the Olympics this year.
Beach volleyball... an unlikely Olympic sport, but then, who could deny the sexy bikini figures their fun?
The amount of pressure that a weightlifter places on their body is enough to pop an eyeball... in fact, scientists have found that weight lifters are at greater risk of developing glaucoma.
When it comes to swimming, big lateral muscles like Phelps has are called 'water wings' because they help power his 6ft 4in length through the pool.
Male gymnasts have serious upper body strength...
Divers require the poise and point of ballet dancers.
Apparently stomach muscles aren't necessary in the men's 100kg+ category for judo...
Heptathletes like Britain's Jessica Ennis have to have allround fitness, making for a rather sexy athletic build.
A cross between gymast and swimmer, synchro swimmers must have really large lungs to boot.
Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake take care to pump iron regularly to keep themselves in prime condition as speed machines.
