Plucky Brit is slang for a British athlete who is brave and determined, especially when success is unlikely.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='This is a very dark day for sport' – funding appeals rejected by UK Sport | Sport | The Guardian )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The year British sport got serious | Sport | spiked )〕 The term is used in popular culture.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Like it or not, Andy Murray's win shows we're the best in the world | Tim Lewis | Sport | The Observer )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Being British and a ‘good sport’ - the story of ‘Sport and the Law’ | News | Law Society Gazette )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A nation of winners? Not yet | Life | Sport | spiked )〕 Success in the 2012 Summer Olympics challenged the stereotype of the British plucky loser. Chris Hoy stated “I think the Brits historically have got used to being the plucky losers. The attitude has been we'll support our lads and our lasses but we don't expect them to win anything. The teams go to the world cup in football and there are the usual tales of woe – losing penalty shoot-outs. It's like inevitable that the Brits are going to get beaten at some point. But I think that's there's a change in that culture in sport.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=London 2012 Olympics sets the standard for a generation - Report: London Olympic Games 2012 - RFI )〕
