Answer 1

Here we go again, them and us!!!!!

Team GB is the name Team GB for the game(s)

Chris Hoy actually lives in Manchester because that is where the world class velodrome is.  The one that helped the whole cycling team to achieve greatness as a whole.

Answer 2

No! All is as it should be - Scotland the Brave, Scotland the free.  

Answer 3

he's also British hence the team name GB ;)

Answer 4

I'm sorry but i don't see what this has to do with a persons sporting ability???

Answer 5

There's a first for everything. Do you have a point or are you just being deliberately provocative? Or perhaps there's something more sinister behind your question....

Answer 6

I saw no sporrans at the games worn by gold hoarders.Team GB means just that.United we stand ,divided we fall.

Answer 7

Yes it is.  Could have quite easily been English, Welsh or Northern Irish.  

Answer 8

What's coincidental about it? Is it the same coincidence that Rebbecca Adlington is English? And that Nicole Cooke is Welsh? Your question is more than tinged with xenophobia.

And is it coincidence that Edinburgh city council want to demolish their velodrome. That's how much they think of Hoy's achievement in Scotland.

Answer 9

Why would that be a coincidence? Scotland is part of Great Britain is it not? Or is this a nationalist dig against the English?

Answer 10

And where does he train...............?

Manchester England.

And a coincidence with what exactly?

Answer 11

And what has that got to do with the price of bread on a rainy day?! Geeeeeeeeeeez! Well done to our British athletes regardless of whether they were born in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales. They went as team Great Britain and returned like that, so does it matter? What matters is the taking part and how well they did it not where they're from.

Answer 12

Yes.

Answer 13

YES

Answer 14

Scottish and trains in...(wait for it)...Manchester!

Answer 15

We Scots are the best. No coincidence at all

Answer 16

yes.

Answer 17

yip? unless you think there is less to do in scotland so more people do sport, i used to do that when i went to boring places, just go to the gym a lot... :/ even ran 20 miles once when im usually too lazy to cross the street ;)  

Answer 18

No its not. What are you implying? That because the bloke is a scot he is somehow "better" than the English Olympians?

And I'm sure that its no coincidence that the scots now wish to enter there own team in 2012, i suppose they will build it around Hoy.

How sad are the scots?

Answer 19

i neither know, nor care, dont tell me you're suddenly taking an interest in the olympics, i thought that was against your principles ? lol x

Answer 20

Like the oarsmen,when the time is right we pull together.It is after all a very small dot in a vast ocean.Howdy neighbour.

Answer 21

Yeah just a coincidence.

Still British though. Like it or not.

Answer 22

yes

whereas team GB's most successful ever olympian being english is not

steve redgrave is thoar, the god of rowing

Answer 23

Yes of course it is - the Scots are generally better at tossing.......

the caber!!!
