2022 EU GDP was 16.6tn. The UK already has free trade agreements with 7 of the 11 countries in CPTPP and the total trading area only makes up ~<8% of the UK's total trade, so it is doubtful that this can replace the economic damage the divorce from the EU has done. Escpecially if one considers that many of the damages came from worker shortages and supply problems that a pacific trading zone can hardly solve. IF china joins that would, of course, pave the way for massive profits, but also put the whole trading partnership into their hands with them making up half of the total gdp.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_Olympians_at_the_Olympic_Games

Athletes have competed as independent Olympians at the Olympic Games for various reasons, including political transition, international sanctions, suspensions of National Olympic Committees, and compassion. Independent athletes have come from North Macedonia, East Timor, South Sudan and Curaçao following geopolitical changes in the years before the Olympics, from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (present-day Montenegro and Serbia) as a result of international sanctions, from India and Kuwait due to the suspensions of their National Olympic Committees, and from Russia for mass violations of anti-doping rules.
