Template:Infobox Olympics Great Britain

Great Britain, represented by the British Olympic Association (BOA), is scheduled to compete at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. British athletes have appeared in every Summer Olympic Games of the modern era, alongside Australia, France, and Greece.

Administration

On 29 April 2014, the British Olympic Association announced the appointment of Mark England as Chef-de-Mission to the British Olympic team at Rio 2016.[1]

Funding

As with previous Games UK Sport was the body responsible for allocating elite funding for Olympic sports. In December 2012 a record £347 million of funding for Olympic and Paralympic athletes was announced with the aim of becoming the first nation in recent history to win more medals at the Games following being the host nation.[2]

Four sports, basketball, synchronised swimming, water polo and weightlifting, initially had all their funding withdrawn, while swimming and badminton had their funding cut.[3] Following an appeal process weightlifting had its funding restored.[4]

Sport and Recreation Alliance, an umbrella body that represents national sports organisations in Britain, raised concerns about how the Scottish independence referendum which took place on 18 September 2014 would affect sport funding and recognition issues for Scottish athletes who aim to compete at the Olympic Games.[5]

Competitors

Archery

Main article: Archery at the 2016 Summer Olympics

One British archer has qualified for the men's individual recurve at the Olympics by securing one of three available Olympic spots at the 2016 European Championships in Nottingham.[6] Meanwhile, another British archer was added to the squad by virtue of a top six national finish in the women's individual recurve at the 2016 Archery World Cup meet in Antalya, Turkey.[7]

Athletics

Main article: Athletics at the 2016 Summer Olympics

Great Britain secured a place in all relay events with the exception of the men's 4 × 100 m relay based on the team's performance at the 2015 IAAF World Relays. British athletes have so far achieved qualifying standards in the following athletics events (up to a maximum of 3 athletes in each event):[8][9] The team will nominate its athletes with an entry standard for the individual events based on the results at the British Championships, scheduled to take place in Birmingham between 24 and 26 June 2016.[10]

On 24 April 2016, the top two finishers in both the men's and women's 2016 London Marathon won automatic places for Team GB at the Olympics.[11] Two days later, British Athletics confirmed four athletes, and added Derek Hawkins, brother of Callum to the men's marathon, and race walker Dominic King to the 50 km walk.[12]

On 21 May 2016, the Great Britain trials were held for the 10,000 metres, with two places in both the men's and women's races available to the first two across the line, if they had the qualification time. In the women's race, Jess Andrews won in the qualification time, while Beth Potter, who already had the time, came second and also earned a place in Rio. Mo Farah, reigning World and Olympic champion at 5000 and 10000 metres, has been preselected by Great Britain for both men's races. Neither of the first two finishers in the men's race had at that poiunt achieved the qualifying standard, but on 11 June 2016, Ross Millington, who won the trial, managed to also beat the standard, thus confirming his Olympic place.[13]

On 29 May 2016, Katarina Johnson-Thompson achieved the qualification mark in heptathlon at the Gotzis meeting, the designated Olympic trial for Great Britain, joining the pre-selected Jessica Ennis-Hill in that event.[14]

British canoeists have qualified a maximum of one boat in each of the following classes through the 2015 ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships and the Olympic selection trials, both held in Lee Valley Park.[19] On 4 November 2015, Team GB had announced the names of the four slalom canoeists to be selected for the Games.[20][21]

British canoeists have qualified one boat in each of the following events through the 2015 ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships and the Olympic selection trials, held in Duisburg (18 to 19 April 2016). Under Olympic rules, the successful canoeists may also enter other events where no Team GB canoeist is currently entered. As a result, it was expected that Liam Heath, a World Cup gold medalist in the K-1 200m, will take part in that event, and this was confirmed on 14 June 2016, as well as the participation of Jessica Walker in the equivalent women's event under the same rule.[22][23]

British riders qualified for the following quota places in the men's and women's Olympic road race by virtue of their top 15 final national ranking in the 2015 UCI World Tour (for men) and top 22 in the UCI World Ranking (for women).[24][25]

The BOA announced the eight-athlete squad of road racers (five men and three women) for Team GB on 24 June 2016.[26]

Track

Following the completion of the 2016 UCI Track Cycling World Championships, British riders have accumulated spots in both men's and women's team pursuit, and men's team sprint, as well as both the men's and women's omnium. As a result of their place in the men's team sprint, Great Britain has won the right to enter two riders in both men's sprint and men's keirin.

Great Britain narrowly failed to win a quota place in the women's team sprint. As such, they did not earn the two places in women's sprint and keirin that the team quota place would have gained them. However, Great Britain did earn a single place in the women's keirin, and two places in the women's sprint, by virtue of their final individual UCI Olympic rankings in those events.

Team GB's track cycling squad was officially selected for the Games on 24 June 2016, with seven-time medallist Bradley Wiggins returning to the track scene at his fifth straight Olympics.[26]

Instead, they must compete at the Olympic trials, scheduled to be held on 10 to 12 June 2016 in Sheffield, to book their places for the Games.[28] A total of eleven divers (five men and six women) were officially named to Team GB on 17 June 2016, featuring London 2012 bronze medalist Tom Daley in both men's individual and synchronized platform.[29]

Great Britain's men's field hockey team qualified for the Olympics by having reached the last four at the 2014–15 Men's FIH Hockey World League Semifinals.[35] Only three nations qualified through this route, but India had already secured qualification as continental champions after the team's success at the 2014 Asian Games, so that the remaining teams automatically received the three quotas. Should England win the 2015 EuroHockey tournament, Great Britain will be treated as having qualified as European champions, and shall relinquish their Hockey World League qualification place to the highest ranking non qualifed team, Spain.

Football

Main article: Football at the 2016 Summer Olympics

Following the appearance of a British team in both the men's and women's tournaments as the nation hosted the 2012 Summer Olympics in London the Football Association initially indicated it was unlikely that a men's team would be entered to take part in the Rio Olympics as the component nations of Great Britain will compete separately in the men's 2015 European Under-21 Championship which act as the qualifying competition.[37][38] However, in February 2015, the FA indicated a change in its policy, championed by Gareth Southgate, the England under-21 coach, who held the view that, as the only global tournament for that age group (there is no FIFA under 21/under 23 World Cup), the Olympic tournament would provide valuable experience for the players. As a consequence, the FA indicated its willingness to the BOA to run a men's team for the Olympic Games.[39]

England women's national football team qualified for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup but is not an Olympic member nation, as they are part of Great Britain. Although England were one of the top three European teams, the last Olympic spot will go to the fourth-best UEFA team. The Football Association had originally declared on 2 March 2015 its intention to enter and run teams on behalf of the British Olympic Association at the 2016 Olympics should England qualify.[40] However, following strong objections from the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish football associations, as well as a commitment from FIFA that they would not allow entry of a British team unless all four Home Nations were in agreement, the Football Association announced on 30 March 2015 that they would not seek entry into the Olympic tournament.[41]

Golf

Main article: Golf at the 2016 Summer Olympics

Golf will make its first appearance as a competitive sport at an Olympic Games since the 1904 St Louis Games. Having been born in Northern Ireland world number one golfer Rory McIlroy and former U.S. Open winner Graeme McDowell would be eligible to represent either Great Britain or Ireland in the Olympics but both have announced their intention to compete for Ireland in Rio.[42][43] Both have now subsequently confirmed as of the 23rd June that they will not be competing for Ireland due to concerns about the Zika virus.

British athletes have qualified for the following spots to compete in modern pentathlon. If more than two competitors qualify in either the men's or women's event, selection for the two places available to each gender will be made by the British Olympic Association in conjunction with Pentathlon GB. Freyja Prentice became the third British woman to qualify for Rio as a result of her world ranking at the end of May 2016. As the two previously qualified athletes failed to guarantee their selection at the 2016 World Modern Pentathlon Championships the choice of which two women will go to the Games was determined by the selectors before the team was named on 8 June; in the event, London 2012 silver medalist Samantha Murray and rookie Kate French were selected.[51]

Great Britain has qualified twelve out of fourteen boats for each of the following rowing classes into the Olympic regatta, with the majority of crews (except women's single & quadruple sculls) having confirmed Olympic places for their boats at the 2015 FISA World Championships in Lac d'Aiguebelette, France. They must also have competed at the British Rowing Olympic Trials in Caversham (March 21 to 23) to assure their selection to the Olympic team for the Games.[52]

A total of 43 rowers were officially named to Team GB's Olympic squad on June 9, 2016, with double silver medalist Frances Houghton aiming to appear at her fifth Olympics and London 2012 bronze medalist Alan Campbell racing in the single sculls at his fourth. The crew also featured reigning Olympic champions Helen Glover and Heather Stanning from the women's pair, and two-time gold medalists Pete Reed and Andrew Triggs-Hodge from the men's four. A squad of twelve rowers, not including cox Phelan Hill was announced for the men's eight; Team GB announced at the same time that the men's pair, and two 'spares' or reserves, would be selected at a later date from those members of the twelve that were not seated in the largest boat. Following the breaking up of the women's double sculls partnership of Katherine Grainger and Victoria Thornley, and their failure thereafter to make the women's eight squad, the double sculls was also not announced, although selector David Tanner confirmed later that evening that the pair of Grainger and Thornley would be selected.[53]

Rugby sevens

Main article: Rugby sevens at the 2016 Summer Olympics

In International competition the constituent nations of Great Britain ordinarily compete as separate unions representing England, Scotland and Wales. For the purposes of qualification for the 2016 Olympics the three British unions agreed in advance of the 2013–14 men's and women's Sevens World Series that their highest-finishing teams in that season would represent all three unions in the first stage of qualification during the 2014–15 series. The England men's and women's teams earned the right to represent the British unions in that stage of their respective competitions.[54]

On 9 September 2015, Team GB announced the names of the first six sailors to be selected for places at the Rio 2016 regatta.[58] Five more sailors had been added to the list of confirmed athletes for Rio on 8 March 2016, with the windsurfer Nick Dempsey aiming to appear at his fifth Olympics.[59] The men's 470 (Patience & Grube) and 49er (Fletcher & Sign) crews completed the Team GB's sailing lineup for the Olympics on 4 May 2016.[60]

Swimming

Main article: Swimming at the 2016 Summer Olympics

British swimmers have so far achieved qualifying standards in the following events (up to a maximum of 2 swimmers in each event at the Olympic Qualifying Time (OQT), or potentially 1 at the Olympic Selection Time (OST)):[64][65] All British swimmers must qualify by finishing in the top two of the Olympic trials having gained the GB qualifying A standard set by British Swimming in the relevant final (that time being the fastest time of the sixteenth fastest swimmer internationally in that event in 2015).

Great Britain secured its first spot for Rio 2016 when Jack Burnell finished fifth in the 10 km open water marathon at the 2015 FINA World Championships.[66] Meanwhile, in the pool, British swimmers earned places for Rio in all the relay events at the same meet with the exception of the women's 4 × 100 m freestyle relay; therefore, they will rely on the ranking times for one of the final four places available in these events.

On 21 April 2016, British Swimming announced the final squad of 26 swimmers for the Olympics.[67] Among them were 2015 World champions Adam Peaty and James Guy, Commonwealth champion Jazmin Carlin, and incoming three-time Olympians Robbie Renwick and Hannah Miley.[68]
