Fitness At What Cost?

The extremely wide variety of body types among top-tier athletes [14 pictures]

But are all sports created equal? Or are some more "human" than others? Or should we be concerned overall, well-rounded [functional] fitness, rather than in excelling in one sort of movement? Is it possible for certain forms of extreme physical fitness in women to ruin their physical attractiveness? I think so, especially when it has an impact on their body fat percentage. (Then there is the stunted growth of female gymnasts.)
