Actually, I was thinking about Mark Cavendish, and the Isle of Man is not actually part of the UK. So it should be Team the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and Crown Dependencies.
You've forgotton the British Overseas Territories - Shara Proctor our Long Jumper is from Anguilla.
I like Team GB sounds quite snappy to me - did laugh at the guys dressed as the Bee Gees in Cardiff the other day Team Bee-Gee.
It sounds very tacky or American .We now have prom nights and Halloween .We got our selves into a mess with team Blair and Bush so the world associates us with the USA so why not team USGB

I'm from Bermuda originally, we have our own Olympic Team. Shara Proctor opted for Team GB because Anguilla doesn't have an Olympic Committee so had to transfer to Team GB or couldn't compete.
So now it's Team GB and Northern Ireland, Crown Dependencies and some British Overseas Territories but not all of them. ;p

Yep its American they started this Team USA nonsense years ago. Prom night and Halloween isn't the worst of it there are some parts in the UK saying "mom"
What you do not refer to is Scotland just because the whole Ladies Curling team is Scottish, Team GB is the official designation
The Scottish commentators and players always refer Scotttish or Scotland because the same teams compete with other Scottish teams to represent Scotland in international tournaments and World championships. I think there are perhaps only one or two designated curling rinks in England whereas Scotland has several. When it comes to the Winter Olympics they are the go to 'country' in the UK to 'represent' Team GB.

Yes that Scottish curling commentator has had to correct herself 3 times saying Scotland then correcting to GB.

They are Bermuda (as already mentioned), the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands.
Indeed. I've heard her refer to Scotland at least 3 times and I've only watched it sporadically.
Imagine the reaction if Claire Balding said that England had won a gold in the skeleton. You'd never hear the end of it...

Although post Brexit, will we have Team London, Team Bigots Who Voted Leave?
