My point is that those competitors ARE classified as overweight by BMI. Don't forget that muscle is denser than fat - a flabby 169lb is going to have more body volume than a fit 169lb. Any muscular sprinting/non-endurance athlete is probably going to be classified as overweight. Here's something to think about: spindly Usain Bolt is 6'4" and 207lbs - which puts him at just over edge of "overweight" which is 25 BMI. https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmi_tbl.pdf https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmi...
