1906 Intercalated Games

Great Britain, represented by the British Olympic Association (BOA), competed at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, Italy. 253 competitors, 206 men and 47 women, took part in 130 events in 17 sports.[1] British athletes have competed in every Summer Olympic Games.

The Rome Games continued Great Britain and Northern Ireland's disappointing run in the Olympics, with British athletes picking up only two gold medals (down from six in 1956). Overall, they won twenty medals, finishing twelfth.

Shortly after the games, rumours circulated from several teams that the British team had fielded competitors in their women's Athletics team who had male characteristics. The allegations were instantly dismissed by the British team. However, a report was issued the following year by British professor, Thomas Jeffcote, who claimed that two of the British team were intersex. Neither was named but he stated one was twenty years old while the other was a teenage 100 yard sprinter. He further claimed her Athletic ability deteriorated rapidly after undergoing an operation in 1961. [2]
