How hard can it be? Even Yorkshire won some medals.

So for Rio in four years time how about an independent republic of Charlton Life team.

We'll need a competitor for as many sports as possible to justify the cost of the Valley Express coach hire and to get the group rate I've agreed at the Favela Hilton.

So if you have ever played any of the Olympic sports stick you name down. I'll start

    Redmidland spends his time wearing a Bra and Knickers, so put him down for Beach Volleyball.
    I once sold one or two items I maybe shouldn't have, so I'll do the fencing.

    Building a decent squad now.

    Redmidland can compete in the women's events as i think we'll struggle there until headlocks become an olympic event

    I'll take up road cycling, and rely on the German, British and Kazak teams to get me close to the front

    I'm going to join the Army and get the best seats for free. After searching myself, obviously.

    Team CL will need an official Drugs Tester. First dibs on that one please. Especially that new Oxi drug that was all the rage last time we went there. Cocaine battery acid and kerosene. Yes, really. Insane.

    And I will do immediate drugs test on any athlete who says they have given 110%.

    Failing these positions, can I interview Team CL athletes each time they win?

    FM - How do you feel
    CLA - Fantastic/amazing/unbelievable
    FM - What was the atmosphere like?
    CLA - Fantastic/amazing/unbelievable
    FM - What were the crowd like?

    I did fencing once at a PGL week when I was younger. Made a boy cry I stabbed him so hard, made me happy!

    I do a bit of weightlifting every time I clamber off the sofa to get another cup of tea so put me down for that. Do we get the lycra leotards from the club shop (as was) or will Mrs.M have to knit one?

    I've been told by new team selector @Telmc32 that I'm a shoo-in for the cycling as I actually cycle 25-30 miles daily.

    Then again I might pass up the offer of team CL and actually try and compete for team GB in the coming years as I'm not to bad at it. : - 0
