What about Northern Ireland

[rubbershoes]

Are there are Norn Iron athletes competing? there must be


Are they in Team GB ? I'd guess they are but Norn iron isn't in Great Britain

 

[starfish]

Should really be Team GB&NI. Team GB is just more media friendly.

edited to subtract as NI is not in GB according to the Olympics or to anyone. It is in the UK.

 

[rubbershoes]

Team UK?

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Yes, pedants have remorselessly pointed out it should be Team UK, or GB & NI.

But no one gives a toss.

No one.

Me neither.

 

[starfish]

Team UK?

Would be better & correct.

Republic of Ireland also billed as "Ireland" throughout, just to confuse things further.

NI athletes can represent Ireland or GB, according to preference.

That cyclist Cavendish who disappointed so much today isn't from Great Britain either, of course.

 

[Firky]

Can't people from Northern Ireland have dual citizenship and choose to represent Ireland?

Can't call it team UK cos Ukraine has that country code.

They are UKR, we could be UKD, or, better, WKD.

Well, it is the name of the country ...

I thought that there was always a lot of effort to ensure the contrary but it turns out that since the Good Friday Agreement Westminster has been relaxed about the usage.
