The Los Angeles Olympics are just two years away but you could get there with a new sport as Great Britain's flag football team is on the lookout for new talent.

British sprinter Amy Hunt knows all about the "magic of the Olympics".

Now Olympic hopefuls have another avenue to join the 2024 medallist at the 2028 Games in Los Angeles.

Flag football, a condensed, non-contact version of American football, is one of the world's fastest growing sports and will make its Olympic debut at LA28.

Great Britain hope to qualify and in a bid to boost their chances, they are looking to identify male and female athletes from other sports who have the potential to convert.

Cross-sport athletes are also being considered for a new professional flag football league, backed by the NFL and the likes of Tiger Woods and Serena Williams.

"Everyone wants to go to the Olympics so I can see why people are moving sport to get there," Hunt told BBC Sport at Sunday's NFL game in London.
