there is no recognized country i.e. nation named Great Britain. Great Britain is an island shared by three countries (England, Wales and Scotland), just as Hispaniola is an island shared by two countries, (Haiti and Dominican Republic). There is a country called the United Kingdom, which comprises the three countries of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
the Olympic movement is flexible indeed, does the England football team compete at the Olympics given Great Britain competes as a group??? interesting
either way if we wanted to compete as the West Indies we could given the precedence have been set.
