Anyone watching the commonwealth games would of heard of this guys story. Anyone who hasn't here it is.

Geoff huegill won Olympic gold at 21 in butterfly.
At 22 he was proof that those who indulge, bulge.His weight had soared to 140kg.
Too embarrassed to expose himself to the cameras, he hid away and did his training on the quiet.
Last night, at the Commonwealth Games, that hero emerged as Huegill - now a lesser man by 45kg in weight but huge in every other respect - surged to the silver medal in the 50m butterfly.
And he's racing tonight in the 100m butterfly. What a turn around.

Imagine if some like dungey bulked up to 140kg and then come back to win ama titles again.

You'll have to tell them that 140 kg is equal to about 310 lbs. before they'll have a clue.

American's don't do metric.

Impressive feat.

Those Commonwealth games seem like a mess. No spectators, swimmers getting sick, running track being built up to last minute before races

50 M fly??? WTF? I could have been great if we had a 50 M fly back in my day. Anything more than that I would die.

He's still a good size guy at 95 KG...but, I'd guess he's 6'6" or taller.
