Sports Are Poles the „fittest“ Europeans?

Currently Poland for the weekend, and It seems like the average pole is either „military buff fit“, or „cyclist endurance fit“. I mean even the dudes with the plumber-bodies despite having a beer-belly, have arms that could lift trucks. That type of „farmer-strength“ build

If Europe ever was to do a similar version of that Netflix show in South Korea „physical: 100“, it should definitely take place here.

I live in NL and I think the Dutch are pretty close to the fittest I’ve seen in Europe. Everyone is very active and there’s a huge sporting culture here.
