Basically that means the long gap between medals was all Queen Elizabeth's fault. Queen from 1952 to 2022...

I see naturalised some Dutch guy? And he beats Kjeld Nuis?

Unlike the  &  athletes competing in Istanbul, all of our guys do have at least one legit British parent.  This weekend alone we have shared two medals with , for example.  (Alex Yee & Zoe Atkin).  But we also lose medals to other nations - Fanny Smith & Doug Yule  both have two British parents.

actually, all the  guys competing in Istanbul have either legit Italian blood or have been raised and trained in our Country.
