This is all about "Plastic Brits". Have you heard the term? it's referring to those athletes who have applied to compete for GB on the grounds that they have duel nationality (like Tiffany Porter's younger sister, and Zharnel Hughes)

And others who feel that as the newcomers have duel nationality they have a right to represent GB - and also that the more medals we win, the more Lottery Funding we will get! A very good point, of course......
