At the moment, the Olympics teams (Summer and Winter) represent Great* Britain rather than each separate nation of the Union. There are plans to change this in the next few years, I believe.

As it stands at the moment, though, it's celebrated as a British victory rather than a purely Scottish one. Torville and Dean are English, but again, the whole of Britain celebrated their wins, not just England. Fair's fair.

* This title doesn't mean what most people assume it does.

Thanks you both for clearing that up.

Wanker, we were just having a little sport...no mean-spiritedness intended. The competition brings out the national (and hereditary) pride. My Scottish ancestors loved their homeland and shared this love with me. So I cheer for Scotland...and all great athletes who risk their necks and knees so we can see the extraordinary gifts of the human body combined with such will. Awesome.
