Just be darn careful who you call obese when you swing your BMI around boy!
One so-called measure of obesity is BMI or Body-Mass-Index. This is discovered by calculating weight (kg) divided by height squared (m^2)
Valerie Vili, Nu Zulun’s Olympic gold medal winning shot putter, is 6-4 and 267 lbs.
In metrics that is 1.93 m and 121.1 kg
Now do the calculation folks
(121.1) divided by (1.93)^2 = 32.5 (check it on this calculator for feet and pounds)
Now according to the BMI ratings, Valerie Vili is obese! Over 30 is obese.
Folks, I have seen Valerie working out at the track – and one thing she is not – obese. The woman is a superb athlete in every sense of the word. The weight she carries is just about all muscle. She is agile, fast, extremely strong, and fit.
I suspect with this shot, even the Chinese would like to claim her as one of their own!
