    Correct me if I’m wrong but does GB (Great Britain) not just comprise England, Wales & Scotland. Well done to the curlers for winning Uk’s only medals.

    As I understand it, while technically Great Britain is England, Scotland, and Wales, Team GB in the Olympics includes Northern Ireland. As in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
