Great Britain is the only team to have won at least one gold medal at every Summer Games. The most successful British Olympian by gold medals won is Steve Redgrave, who won five consecutive gold medals; in the Coxed four in 1984 then Coxless pair 1988 to 1996 and finally Coxless four in 2000.

The 28 African countries boycotted the 1976 Summer Games due to the inclusion of New Zealand in the Games after New Zealand played South Africa in rugby. South Africa had been banned from the Olympics since 1964 due to its apartheid policy and the African countries believed that New Zealand should also be banned for continuing to play South Africa in international sport. When the IOC refused to ban New Zealand, the African countries boycotted.
