Chris Low the GB coach - I'm sure I've seen him before?? Wasn't he the star of that BBC educational film called "The Perfect Body"? Chris could be seen flexing his "perfect" biceps, tensing his washboard 12-pack and sporting a particularly skimpy pair of green shorts. Meooooowww!!!

Unfortunately, I have heard that "The Perfect Body" has now fallen into slight disrepair. The biceps are now bingo wings and the 12-pack is now more of a keg. The green shorts have never been traced.
