It still is - in the sense that Great Britain means the island of Britain and the smaller islands that cluster round it (but not Ireland). The name has nothing to do with military or political greatness.
Great Britain was one of 14 teams to compete in the first Games, the 1896 Summer Olympics, and has competed at every Games. Athletes representing Great Britain have won 715 medals at the Summer Olympic Games, and another 22 at the Winter Olympic Games. Great Britain is the only team to have won at least one gold medal at every Summer Games. The most successful British Olympian by gold medals won is Steve Redgrave, who won five consecutive gold medals; in the Coxed four in 1984 then Coxless pair 1988 to 1996 and finally Coxless four in 2000. Redgrave and cyclist Bradley Wiggins are the most bemedalled British Olympians with six medals each.

The United States and Great Britain have been allies since 1917 when the U.S. went to Britain's aid . They have remained strong allies ever since.
