Who competes for "Team GB" at the Olympics? (aussie.zone)

Specifically, given the name is "Great Britain", I'm curious: does Northern Ireland compete under the Union Jack? Or are they with the Irish team like they do in rugby union and cricket?

Oh neat, thanks.

Don't suppose you know how many NI athletes are in the Olympics this year, and which country they're representing?

Not a clue, my friend. I couldn't give a fuck. 😂

I'm sure the information is available somewhere.

Yeah turned out very easy to find actually.

But there are 37 Northern Irish athletes in Paris, with six representing Tema GB while the others compete for Team Ireland - and they include three current world champions.
