The Union Jack is the flag of United Kingdom. The St. George's Cross is the flag of England.

I see.  But I've watched the Olympics since the 1984 games and always remember them raising the jack when they won.  Last games, it was the cross instead.  When did this policy change?

Did a bit of googling but every picture I can find of recent olympic wins for Great Britian it is the Union Jack.

As another poster indicated, they compete at the Olympics as Great Britain, not as the individual countries.

Do you've a link where the St. Gerorge's Cross was used?

England, N. Ireland, Scotland and Wales all have different flags. The red cross on white background is England's flag and the Union Jack is the British flag.

I don't know if the policy has ever changed. I have only ever known the St. George Cross to be used to represent England. The Union Jack would not have been used, for sure.

they kick the 1st one where the Scottish man is, and he makes the sound of a dog.

It's called the union flag ( unless you're on a ship, then you can call it a jack )
