"During the 2004 Olympics, we spent some time applying the D&D rules to various events. Among our findings:
Based on height and weight, U.S. gymnast Carly Patterson would be a tall female elf, and her Russian rival Svetlana Khorkina would be a slim female half-elf. The Hamm twins are as tall and as heavy as the average male half-elf. The wrestler Rulon Gardner is in the 69th percentile for half-orc height and weight.
And sprinter Maurice Green and soccer star Mia Hamm are very close to the D&D height and weight averages for humans.
The best Olympic archers are 7th-level rangers, based on their accuracy against a Fine, stationary target 230 feet away and some reasonable assumptions about feat choices.
Weightlifter Shane Hamman? Str 23, based on his snatch weight.
A 6th-level monk with a +5 movement speed feat can hit a world record for the marathon, which is 27,687 5-foot squares long." --From wizards.com By Jesse Decker and David Noonan
