Goatfell - so what happened in the Curling at the winter Olympics when the UK won gold with an all Scottish team? You might well regard that as a Scottish gold medal but the IOC and the rest of the world know it to be a British win. I suspect the the 2004 4 x 100m men's relay team was all English but it was, of course, a UK victory. In international law England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are simply regions of a state called the United Kingdom of Great britain and Northern Ireland. This could change, of course, but until it does that's the situation.
