Good evening all as we welcome you to the games of the 4th Fisolympics, featuring once again the greatest test of FPL stamina - the Decathlon.

These games represent the best of all that the FISO Fpl forum has to offer as has been shown in the events previously hosted by such luminaries as Tort, WHATEVER and Gravesy. We now have the special opportunity to bring the games to a Mystery location. Unfortunately Val Doonican was unavailable to sing the national anthem so you'll all have to take that as read. Fortunately, RomynPG remains on hand to ensure the athletic endeavour is recorded and presented in world class quality.

We will be celebrating the highs, commiserating over the lows and taking the mickey out of the even lowers as we enjoy a fine season of FPL sporting endeavour. Coaching has been taking place in earnest over the past few weeks building up to this main event and it is now time for all to declare their interest in taking part in the Decathlon.

Rules remain the same as last year so they will be familiar to all athletes but they are listed below for your convenience. If you would like to play, all you need do is post your interest (preferrably with a team link although an FPL button will suffice). Please also declare the country which you shall be representing. Would-be Zola Budds will be pleased to know that this need not be your home country - a history of drinking Guinness is also not required to represent Ireland (but it may prove desirable for your own reasons).

The first event begins in GW10 so you have a little over a week to register. Please do ask if you have any questions and the Fisolympic committee will get back to you.

My friends - let the Games begin............

The Schedule

Has The Peoples Republic Of Burntwood been recognised yet? Failing that please put me down for England or if the country has to be a unique choice then Ireland will do nicely. :)

I just checked with the International Fisolympic Committee and it would appear they haven't yet paid their application fee for a seat on the committee. I can forward the relevant account details shortly :wink:

Nope - no need for unique choices. I'm sure England will be popular but there's plenty of international flavour to keep things interesting.

Erm, England are not represented at the Olympics :wink:

You have to use the name we gave to the regions we invaded - UK.

I was considering Nauru myself ... but as they only sent 1 athlete to Bejing I wouldn't want to blow their budget :wink:

So this year, and to add a bit of local rivalry with Brightwater, I'll be representing the British Virgin Islands.


My training facilties are somewhat rudementary....

Image

... and getting time on them a struggle at times as they are quite popular ... but I'm confident that with the help of my training partner ...

Image

... I will be able to concentrate on getting my fitness levels up :wink:
