Although Wales only began competing as a country in various athletic tournaments since the 1920s, Welsh athletes have made an impression on the international stage before this as part of Great Britain teams along with sportspeople from England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. In 1906 Wallis Walters became the first Welsh athlete to represent Great Britain in a track and field event in the Olympics, competing in the 110m hurdles. The first Welsh athlete to win an Olympic medal was David Jacobs who was awarded the gold as part of the 4 × 100 m relay at the 1912 games in Stockholm. In 1948, Tom Richards became the first Welshman to be awarded an individual medal when he took silver in the marathon. Michelle Probert was the first woman from Wales to win an Olympic medal, running in the 4 × 400 m relay, while no female athlete from Wales has won an individual Olympic medal.
