British Olympic AssociationThe British Olympic Association (BOA) is responsible for Great Britain's participation in the Olympic Games. It was formed on 24 May 1905 by the House of Commons. The first chairman of the association was Lord Desborough. It originally had representatives of 9 sports but now every Olympic sport has a member. The BOA has been responsible for Great Britain being one of only five countries (Australia, France, Greece, and Switzerland) that have competed at every Olympics since 1896.
