Cincinnati, OH (WFN) -- Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the sweatiest of them all? Why, it's the men competing in this year's Olympic tennis matches, according to "sweat experts" who measured perspiration production among male athletes at the Athens Games. Using factors like body weight, average temperatures and duration of the event, experts at Old Spice antiperspirant estimate one male tennis player produces nearly 114 ounces of sweat per match -- or around 14 cups of stink juice. By comparison, the stickiest guy in last year's Super Bowl -- Carolina Panthers center Jeff Mitchell -- only sweated 28.3 ounces of perspiration during the game, which amounts to about three and a half cups. Other sweaty sportsmen at the Olympics include triathlon competitors, who rank second to tennis players on the sweat index, and soccer players, who come in third. The least sweaty sport? Shooting, which came in dead last out of the 23 Olympic competitions which were ranked.
