haha. well I wish him the best of luck, unfortunately it's a pretty difficult task, especially for someone with limited athletic background like he states.
I didn't read it all, does he say what event he's chosen?
I think he's chosen the "cranially-challenged-think-of-a-daft-concept" event, originally proposed as an alternative to the popular "yak-dung-throwing-relay-coxless-pairs" event at the unofficial 1923 Ulan Bator Olympiadfest, which attracted 143 spectators, the majority of which were passing yak herders.
By the way, have you ever tried yak meat? It tastes like it sounds - yak.
He hasn't picked a sport yet, still deciding which one he wants.
Little does he know that most of the sports on his shortlist have a minum standard to get into the Olympics
Actually, he might be better trying to compete for Britain after all, I'm pretty sure that the host nation automatically qualify three compettitors of each gender for each sport...so maybe he could pick an obscure sport that's not very popular in Britain but still is in the Olympics....

Like welly throwing perhaps? I've got an old mate who used to be a trainer for the Cleckheaton Wassocks Junior Tag Welly Team in the 1950s, preparing for the day when it would be included in the Olympics. I wanted to go for this event but my technique always let me down, an overarm swing which tended to produce an interesting divot a few feet in front of me before bouncing into the canal. I could never get the hang of a good underarm cleat which sent it sailing through the air for 35 metres to land in Mrs Braithwaite's back yard. It was always a good idea to clean the deposits off the boot first, in case it went into her washing line.
