The Bodies Of The World's Greatest Athletes Compared Side By Side
There has never been a human body ideal that has lasted more than a few decades. What one generation knows as the 'model body type' to strive for becomes totally irrelevant to the next.
Howard Schatz’s Athlete photo series is a fascinating comparison of the world's strongest, most successful athletes. Each stand side by side to compare the differences in their physicality. Some are amazing runners who are bone-thin and some are massive wrestlers and lean and toned gymnasts.
Each of these bodies exhibit what is ideal for each sport. These people are the best in their class, and have put a lot of effort into maintaining their figures. Rippling muscles, lofty height and tightened abs are not required for one to consider an athlete and this photo series certainly puts into perspective what we associate with an Olympic body type.
What are your thoughts? Did this collection of photos change the way you look at athletes?
