Olympics

[kilted scholar]

That of course is correct.

But by the same token, if all competitors in a particular event were English 'they would not be permitted to have an English team' either. The same applies to Wales and Northern Ireland.
This matter was often discussed in the past when football (soccer) was in the Olympics and amateur football flourished. The team represented Great Britain; there was no representation of the constituent countries as such.
On the other hand, there was discussion of fielding a Great Britain team at the World Cup decades ago but that was not possible as FIFA only permitted its constituent associations to field teams, and in this case England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland had, and have, their own particular governing bodies.
It is quite likely that the ICC (International Cricket Conference) may apply for cricket to be reinstated in the Olympics, as it was long ago when France were defeated in the final (!!!) If that transpired the team would represent Great Britain, as it currently is, and England would not be permitted to have its own team!

On the original subject, congratulations to Eve Muirhead - a crowning achievement for her career!
