Would that be the Democratic Republic Of Liberated Leeds (DROLL)..?
Convenient to forget that one of them depended on another person - synchronised diving isn't a solo sport.

Just pointing out that the Country relies on Yorkshire & particularly Leeds to keep us high on the medal table.
Yorkshire on it’s own would have finished 12th in 2012 & 19th in 2016

Nope, definitely Dvorak.
