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.

No, which is why Jamaica, Barbados, etc. can't compete at the Olympics if they were also to compete as the West Indies.

The logic of the matter seems to escape you. I wonder why.

I was asking myself a similar question regarding you, I just checked at the Olympics there is no England football team but there is GB, while at the world cup there is no GB team but there is England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland

the flexibility is in allowing a GB team without a GB nation hence a West Indies team without a West Indies nation
anyway this never happen as a region we highlight our differences more than our similarities so this is pointless
