Great Britain at the 2012 Summer Olympics

Template:Infobox Olympics Great Britain Great Britain (allocated IOC country code GBR and also known by the brand Team GB), as the British Olympic Association representative team, is competing at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom, from 27 July to 12 August 2012 as the host nation. They are the only nation competing in all 26 sports at the Games, although as host they gain automatic qualification places in a number of events. 541 athletes were selected for Team GB.

The government agency UK Sport targeted a total of 48 medals, one more than the team won at the 2008 Summer Olympics, and a fourth-place finish in the medal table.

Team

The Great Britain and Northern Ireland team, which are assigned the IOC country code of GBR, and which has since 1999 used the branding Team GB, contains athletes representing the British Olympic Association (BOA), the National Olympic Committee (NOC) for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Great Britain athletes are eligible for selection from all four of the UK's Home Nations (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales), as well as 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).

541 athletes were selected by the BOA for the 2012 summer games, using either the standard set for each sport by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the respective International Federation, or to a higher standard agreed by the BOA and the respective national governing body.

The Great Britain kit was designed by Stella McCartney. In addition to the Olympic merchandise, a range of Team GB branded items went on sale including the BOA's official mascot Pride.

Medal targets

UK Sport, the body responsible for distributing £300 million in Olympic and Paralympic sports and athletes in the four years since the 2008 Beijing Olympics revealed a target of finishing in the top four of the medal table and winning at least 48 total medals across at least 12 sports. A specific number of gold medals was not targeted. Targets were set for the following sports; The total of 48 medals is one more than the team won at the 2008 Summer Olympics. The media speculated that a performance at the higher end of medal estimates would give Great Britain a chance to challenge Russia for third place.

As the host nation, Britain does not automatically receive any places.

Gareth Warburton was initially not selected for the 800 meters having failed to achieve the 'A' qualifying standard at the 2012 European Athletics Championships in Helsinki but was granted a place at the Games following an appeal. Ten other British athletes were unsuccessful with their appeals to be included. Welshman Dai Greene was selected to captain the athletics squad, reprising a role he had first served at the 2011 European Team Championships in Sweden.

The following British athletes have confirmed qualification for the athletics squad.

As hosts, Team GB were entitled to enter two badminton players regardless of how they fared in qualifying. At the qualification date, Team GB had qualified four places; a single player in each singles event, and a pair in the mixed doubles. As Team GB competitors also feature on the reserve list, other places may be awarded in the event of withdrawals.

Basketball

Basketball was the only sport in which Great Britain were not guaranteed entry as hosts in 2012. In early 2011, FIBA granted the men's and women's teams automatic qualification. Until 2006, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland competed as separate teams.

Men

Britain was guaranteed five male boxers at the Games and one female entrant, by virtue of being the host nation. However following the 2011 World Championships, five British boxers had claimed their places. The special 'host' places for men's boxing therefore became void. The boxers who qualified through the world championships were; Andrew Selby, Luke Campbell, Tom Stalker, Fred Evans and Anthony Joshua.

Following the World Championships Andrew Selby and Khalid Yafai had both attained the qualification standard for the Olympics in the flyweight division. NOCs may only nominate one boxer per event, and since both had reached the quarter finals of the World Championships, a box off was required. The box off took place at the York Hall during the 2011 British Championships in November. Selby won the first bout, following which Yafai failed to make the weight for the second bout by 300 grams, meaning that Selby would represent Great Britain at the Olympics.

In the subsequent AIBA European Qualification Tournament, two further boxers, Josh Taylor and Anthony Ogogo, also qualified.

Women

Qualification for the women's events was held at the AIBA 2012 Women's World Championships only. On 16 May 2012, Natasha Jonas qualified in the 60 kg category, and Nicola Adams in the 51 kg category. As a result, the host quota place in women's boxing became void. On 18 May 2012 Savannah Marshall qualified in the 75 kg category, ensuring Great Britain is represented at all women's weights at the first Olympic Games featuring the women's discipline.

Britain qualified the maximum of one boat in all four classes, at the 2011 World Championships.

Places were allocated in Team GB in a qualification event in April 2012. As stated above, Great Britain was entitled to one quota of two canoeists in the men's C-2 event; however, as the successful C-2 canoeists Florence and Hounslow had already qualified in the individual events, a quota for a second boat in C-2 became available.

A Great Britain men's football team will compete at the Olympics for the first time since 1960. The team will be run by The Football Association, as the national associations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have declined to take part. However, despite objections from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, players from all four nations were considered for selection. However, players chosen to represent England at the 2012 European Championships were not considered for selection, although one player (Jack Butland) received special dispensation to compete. Former England captain David Beckham, who was involved in promoting London's bid to host the Games, had expressed an interest in appearing as one of the three over-23 players in the squad. The men's team will be managed by Stuart Pearce and the women's by Hope Powell.

Rhythmic

The British Olympic Association have announced that the team will utilise host nation qualification places. However an agreement between British Gymnastics and the BOA stipulated that the team had to reach a target score (45.223) at a test event held in London in January 2012. They narrowly missed this target in the qualification stage by 0.273 marks. though they met the mark on the finals day.

This led to a dispute in which British Gymnastics originally argued that they should not be included in the Games as they had failed to make the mark in the agreed manner; the gymnasts argued that it was not clear the mark had to be reached on the qualification round, and that their mark in the final day (which was over the target mark) should be accepted.

On 5 March 2012, the gymnasts won their appeal, and British Gymnastics announced that the team would now be nominated for selection.

Taekwondo

Main article: Taekwondo at the 2012 Summer Olympics

Britain has not taken any formal part in qualification tournaments in taekwondo, as the GB team already have four guaranteed places at their disposal, two for men, two for women. British Taekwondo nominated four athletes to take up their host quota places.

The nomination of Lutalo Muhammad for the −80 kg class was originally rejected by the BOA on 31 May 2012, following concerns over the selection process. Muhammad, European champion, and world ranked number seven, at −87 kg had been nominated in preference to double European champion at −80 kg, and world ranked number one fighter at that weight, Aaron Cook (Muhammad was ranked below 50th in the world at that weight category, at which he has rarely fought recently). On 8 June 2012 Muhammad's renewed nomination was ratified.

Tennis

Main article: Tennis at the 2012 Summer Olympics

Great Britain has only two players that have qualified automatically through their world ranking: world number four Andy Murray will take part in the men's singles, and will also play with his brother Jamie Murray, who has a sufficiently high ranking in doubles, in the men's doubles. Ross Hutchins and Colin Fleming have also qualified for the men's doubles.

Great Britain does not have any other players with a sufficiently high world ranking to qualify automatically, and therefore applied for a number of wildcard places in the men's and women's draws. A total of four British players (two each in the women's singles and women's doubles) were given places, allowing Great Britain to take part in all five events (a pair for the mixed doubles will be selected at the Games). On 12 July, the IOC confirmed that withdrawals from the women's doubles event had created a vacancy in that event, and Great Britain's entries in the singles event, Elena Baltacha and Anne Keothavong would team up to enter. On 24 July, Heather Watson, one of Great Britain's other women's doubles pair, was given an entry to the women's singles as a replacement for Alona Bondarenko of Ukraine, who withdrew due to injury.

Great Britain were originally offered three guaranteed places at the Games as host nation. If any wrestlers qualify directly through the qualification process, these places were to be reduced.

On 29 May 2012 the BOA announced that British Wrestling had failed to meet the agreed criteria for the three quota places, and therefore only one quota place would be awarded. Ukrainian-born Olga Butkevych was selected in the women's −55 kg category.

The BBC paid £40–50 million for the broadcast rights to the 2012 Olympic Games and is expected to show around 5,800 hours of content over the 17 days of the Games, all of which will be available in high definition. This is an increase on the amount of coverage shown at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing when half of the international feed, 2,500 hours, was broadcast.
