Team GB
About Team GB
Team GB is the brand name used since 1999 by the British Olympic Association (BOA) for their British Olympic team. The brand was developed after the nation's poor performance in the 1996 Summer Olympics, and is now a trademark of the BOA. It is meant to unify the team as one body, irrespective of each member athlete's particular sport. Officially, the team is the "Great Britain and Northern Ireland Olympic Team", although athletes from Northern Ireland may opt to compete under the auspices of the Olympic Federation of Ireland instead.

I did a thing for Team GB's YouTube thing, I went and had to do four Winter Olympic sports because in the Summer Olympic podcast, I had said, as a joke, I reckon I could master any Olympic sport in a day. I was just, you know, I was being hyperbolic. Then suddenly their next series I said, go on then.

What are we talking about today? Today we're going to talk about the great sport of rowing. We're going to speak to Imogen Grant and Eve Stewart, who are two of our Team GB medal hopefuls for Paris. I thought rowing was a stupid sport. It's cold, it's wet, you have to get up really early, you get blisters on your hands and you can't see where you're going.
