Apparently my top 3 are:
1. Rugby 7s
2. Hockey
3. Squash

I play hockey so that's quite true to form.

Less suited to

1. Shooting
2. Athletics (long-distance)
3. Lawn bowls

Which is less good, because I am a reasonable shot and do endurance cardio in the form of cycling (although I did used to loathe running).

Anyway, what do y'all get? smile

1). Hockey
2). Rugby
3). Squash

Makes sense. Always enjoyed hockey at school, play a bit of rugby, and very social squash.

Not suited to shooting, long distance athletics or lawn bowls.

The last two don't really bother me, but I am off to do some clay shooting for the first time tomorrow, so the jury can stay out on that one

Update: I am a 6/10 marksman. So not my finest hour, but not awful

Not doing that.

If it said I'm for tennis, I'd top myself.

Cycling (middle distance)
Cycling (long distance)
Hockey

Not a bad guess. I'm really into cycling, and tend to favour long rides (I'm a bit slow for time trials, but have a blast now and then). I used to play street hockey.

BUT, that doesn't prove that the answers are accurate - I used to play rugby, race karts, love snooker etc etc. Guessing 3 (or in my case 2) sports and me saying "oh yeah" is just a little bit tarot card for me =)

It's just told me I'm suited to

Athletics (jumps)
Athletics (throws)
Wrestling

and not suited to

Athletics (long distance)
Shooting
Lawn bowls

I was good at javelin and discus at school, but rubbish at long jump, high jump etc. I have never had any interest whatsoever in wrestling.

They are completely correct about long distance athletics (I get too bored) and lawn bowls (I just have a feeling I wouldn't be welcome at a bowling green), but I was alright at shooting.

It doesn't take into account oddities though, like goalkeepers, which require different skills to outfield players (I play keeper in hockey)

Apparently my top 3 are:

1. Boxing
2. Wrestling
3. Judo

my lowest 3 are

1. shooting
2. Lawn Bowls
3. Athletics

Seems odd all of my top results are fighting, but not a single question said do you like hitting people. lol.

My actual sports are cycling and football. Edit to say during my teens I used to do alot of shooting, which i was pretty handy at too only stopped it as it took up my Sunday mornings which were later filled with hangovers and football.
