One and the same.

I think most people would choose country of birth, then default to country of heritage, if they didn't make the country of birth team. There's plenty of precedent to support that. I'm sure the opposite has been true. I just don't remember any cases.

For me, they are the same.

Country of my birth. Not that I was ever as an athlete. Only option would be Scotland/Great Britain. One set of Grandparents immigrated to the U.S. from Scotland after getting married . But I couldn't see myself representing another Country.

 

[MamaMermaid]

Yes! Both! I'm from the USA but the bulk of my heritage is British and Irish.

 

[Ronaldo17]

Yep. For me they're both the same. Scotland

USA, my family left the old world for a reason and I trust they knew best so I would not wear those colors again.

I guess the country of my birth since technically the country of my heritage doesn't exist anymore..
