Daniel Wiffen's medal has been attributed to the Ireland team, not the Northern Ireland team,as there is none at the Olympics. Northern Irish athletes who compete for Team GB do not have their medals attributed to 'Northern Ireland', this is the case for Team Ireland also. [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(17-0-11) Author

Northern Irish athletes join Team GB or Team Ireland, this post is an expression of pride in the success of someone from the poster's country, Northern Ireland. The claim there is no such country as Northern Ireland is misinformation. SOURCE: I live in Northern Ireland. [Link][Link][Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(0-0-0) Author
