Pull my finger

Hellooo
Right, we have the weirdest story on the show today. Some scientists have worked out that girls who have a longer ring finger than an index finger, are more likely to be good at sport! Whaaat? How did you figure that out?
Apparently it's all to do with genetics and the scientists studied sets of twins to get these results.
And it does seem to be the case in our office.
Sportsround's Lizzie has a ring finger longer than her index finger and I'm hopeless at sports and mine are the other way round. Apparently it means you are extra good at running. I'm quite a good swimmer, but I can't run for the bus without practially collapsing!
Check out yours and ask your sporty friends if you can have a good look at their hands! Do you think this is true? I'm not sure. Also - if you look at your hand palm up and palm down - the fingers look slightly different, because of the way the muscles work. So it's quite hard to tell!
I don't know if I buy it, but at least it gives me a good excuse for being a terrible runner! It's all in the genes you know!

P.S Adam has just asked me to write...'IN OTHER FINGER NEWS - Adam has just cut his finger!' Thanks for that Adam, I'm sure the readers are fascinated....(!)

My ring finger is longer than my index finger, but I have always been poor at sport. PE classes are a nightmare for me 'cause I just can't do all the running. Things like swimming, dancing, and badminton are okay. But I'm always the one that finishes in the last group in running :( So there's that scientific result debunked!!!

Hiya Ellie.. first time I wrote in a blog section! I don't think the finger thing is true because I have the sporty fingers but I'm rubbish at sport! PS. Hope your finger is ok Adam! =P

What significants do the findings have that are relavent to boys? As a boy i am interested. I'm hoping for good news because my ring finger is longer. Maybe i take longer strides while walking *cheaky*, sorry.

My ring finger is longer than my index finger, and I am a good triple jumper and a really good sprinter (I'm just being honest) LoL! So maybe, just maybe, it IS true!!!!

Y'know, that might be true...I've certainly got a bigger index finger and I'm hopeless at sport. So I have an explanation for my PE teacher at last! And, no, I'm not interested in Adam's finger...

Me and my friend tested it and my ring finger was longer than my index finger and I'm really sporty, but, my friends ring finger was shorter than her index finger and she's not sporty! So it works for us!!

this is not true or properlly proven , what if you measured an olyimpian gold medalist and she had a shorter index finger?
