Template:Infobox Olympics Great Britain Great Britain is the team that sends athletes from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK) plus the three Crown dependencies and all but three of the British overseas territories, to the Olympic Games. It is organised by the British Olympic Association (BOA) as the National Olympic Committee for Great Britain and Northern Ireland. While the BOA and the overall games organizers the International Olympic Committee (IOC) both refer to the team as Great Britain, allocating them the IOC country code GBR, the BOA also currently uses the brand name Team GB for the team, explaining that Team GB is the Great Britain and Northern Ireland Olympic Team.[1][2]
Great Britain was one of 14 teams to compete in the first Games, the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens, and has competed at every Games. Athletes representing Great Britain have won 715 medals at the Summer Olympic Games, and another 22 at the Winter Olympic Games. Great Britain is the only team to have won at least one gold medal at every Summer Games. The most successful British Olympian by gold medals won is Steve Redgrave, who won five consecutive gold medals; in the Coxed four in 1984 then Coxless pair 1988 to 1996 and finally Coxless four in 2000. Redgrave and cyclist Bradley Wiggins are the most bemedalled British Olympians with six medals each.
Eligibility
As the National Olympic Committee (NOC) for the United Kingdom, the British Olympic Association (BOA) membership encompasses the four Home Nations of the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales), plus the three Crown dependencies (Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey), and all but three of the British overseas territories (Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands and Bermuda having their own NOCs).
Under the terms of a long-standing settlement between the BOA and the Olympic Council of Ireland,[citation needed] athletes from Northern Ireland can elect to represent Ireland at the Olympics, as Northern Irish people are legally entitled to dual citizenship.[3]
Hosted Games
London, the United Kingdom's capital, is the first and, to date, only city to host the Olympics on three occasions; the 2012 Summer Olympics in London are currently underway.

In 1974 the FA abolished the distinction between "amateur" and "professional" footballers in England. This ended the practice of "shamateurism", where players claimed to be amateur but still got irregular payments from their clubs. At that time the Olympics were only open to amateur competitors, so the British Associations were no longer able to enter a football team.[16] Also, Great Britain is not a member of FIFA and its athletes participate in international football competitions as members of the national teams of the home nations (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), none of which have National Olympic Committees. As a result, Great Britain usually does not participate in Olympic qualifying tournaments.
Golf
