Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by gator.

I did exactly what Gator did! At first I thought it was going to be weight lifting.
My sentiments exactly Kristen!

They look the most oddly proportioned when you see them standing on the blocks before the race, but here you can see her overdeveloped shoulder and chest muscles.

Alice the Goon can be seen toward the bottom of the page:

This is the pose I used, but I had to simplify the face.

Oh my, how funny! Great solve.

Thanks :)

I have got to tell you that as I was solving it, I was actually thinking, "What do those creatures on Popeye have anything to do with athletes?" And I was right! I don't know how I remember them; I don't even like Popeye, and haven't seen a cartoon about him since I was little.

My link was broken. Here's another photo of Olympian Dana Vollmer:
