Here's some info about a fat athlete.http://www.womenof.com/Articles/po_2_24_03a.asp. Also a couple weeks ago a guy posted about gaining weight and still being athletic. I said I really didnt think it was possible to be athletic and fat and then one day somthing dawned on me. Sumo wrestlers!!! They train really hard, are strong as an ox, and I sure as hell wouldnt want to fight one of them. They move kinda quick but I really don't think they are good runners. Anyway thats my 2 cents.
