Surely your mind is racing and you&#8217;re wondering what has gone wrong with the world. The answer is: &#8220;Nothing has gone wrong with the world.&#8221; I have simply found a more <em>interactive infographic<\/em> courtesy of the BBC UK with data provided by the 2012 Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s begin, shall we?<\/p>\n<p>First, I went to <a title=\"Interactive Infographic Olympic Athlete Body Match\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/uk-19050139\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Your Olympic Athlete Body Match<\/a>. From there I dialed in my height and weight. Next, I received my results. At my current height and weight, I roughly equate to weight lifter Ivan Efremov of Uzbekistan. The man is no doubt a talented athlete and, without question, his lifestyle is healthier than mine. So I had to push the comparisons. I had to compare myself to <a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/PnLAU\">my lightest high school weight.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Morbid Curiosity<\/h2>\n<p>I plugged in my stats at &#8216;the most healthy&#8217; I&#8217;ve ever been. Much to my surprise, it turned up <a title=\"The guy was knighted. I was happy for a tax return last year.\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/olympics\/2012\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><del datetime=\"2012-08-08T11:39:33+00:00\">Six<\/del> Seven Time Gold Medalist, Sir Chris Hoy<\/a>. If that wasn&#8217;t depressing enough, he&#8217;s actually a few years older than I. Ah well, I suppose life goes on. Sir Chris Hoy will never destroy a blog post better than I.<\/p>\n<h2>A Lesson Learned<\/h2>\n<p>The entire point of this post is infographics don&#8217;t necessarily have to be about a single link, one image and some anchor text. They can engage users like none other and provide link bait throughout the process. Tell me that a single Olympic discussion forum has been spared.<\/p>\n<h2>Me Too!!! Me Too!!!<\/h2>\n<p>How can this magic happen? Raw information, that&#8217;s the prime ingredient for any infographic study. How can one get this information? It&#8217;s simple, just use the data provided in this <a title=\"2012 Olympics Statistics\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1eTjnarkVF5l1xnPVYzOJ6p0DE64_6FMHY-fyHsTqyrk\/edit#gid=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2012 Olympics statistical doc<\/a>. *Though it seems kind of broken right now.* You might also try this table for <a title=\"2012 Olympics Statistics: Days 1-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/datablog\/interactive\/2012\/aug\/03\/london-2012-results-open-data\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2012 Olympics Days 1-6 statistics<\/a>.\u00a0After that, you&#8217;re only limited by your creativity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who&#8217;s your Olympic Athlete Body Match?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interactive Olympic Infographic So, it&#8217;s Infographic Wednesday and you don&#8217;t see an infographic.
