How many medals has Northern Ireland won in the Olympics?

Answer 1

Northern Ireland does not have an Olympic Committee and, therefore, does not compete as an independent nation at the Olympics. Athletes from Northern Ireland may compete for either Ireland or Great Britain.

Athletes from Northern Ireland that won medals at the 2008 Games in Beijing include Paddy Barnes, born in Armoy, who won bronze in men's light-flyweight boxing for the team from Ireland and Wendy Houvenaghel, born in Magherafelt, who won silver in women's 3000 meter individual pursuit cycling for the team from Great Britain.
