Why are we GBR in Sochi and not Team GB?
Something I noticed earlier and wondered if anyone knew?
Thanks in advance

We have always been GBR. Team GB is an American colloquialism and as far as I know they are still referred to as Team GB. Note Chemmy Allcott yesterday.
I'm fine with GBR, can't see a problem. Just shout "Come On Britain"!!
Technically it should be the UK (GB + NI) but isn't, I assume, because citizens of NI have the choice of representing GB or the Republic??
