I don't think that's technically correct. Anyone in NI has Irish citizenship (who wants it), so any NI athlete can represent Ireland.

"Team GB" is the official team of the whole of the UK though, including Northern Ireland.

You are correct, the official name of the team is `Great Britain and Northern Ireland Olympic Team`
