Sharran Alexander, a late bloomer, developed her love for sumo wrestling at the age of 41. Alexander, who was born in London, worked as a typical English nanny before making a name for herself in the sumo world. She was declared the heaviest sportswoman in the 2013 Guinness World Records. Alexander is one of the only women recognized as a professional sumo wrestler by the British Sumo Federation, and she has had an incredible international career, winning four gold medals in competitions all over the world. She recently appeared on a British dating show looking for love and stated that some men were scared by her weight.

John Daly – 216 lb

Golfers are not typically thought of as the most physically fit athletes, and many people regard the “sport of gold” as a hobby or a chance to get out of the house on Sunday. This, however, is a misnomer, as most golfers are fairly fit. John Daly, weighing 216bs, is the exception to the norm. Daly is well-known in professional golf for his driving distance from the tee, earning the moniker “Long John” for his consistent 300-yard shots. He is also noted for his free-spirited personality, inability to fit in with the country club crowd, and charity efforts.
