Located in the middle of the Irish Sea between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man is a unique island.
As one of the British Crown Dependencies, it doesn’t belong to the UK, nor is it a part of British Overseas Territories. The 33-mile long island has its own parliament, laws, traditions and culture.
For such a small country, traditional sports play an important part in making the island known to the world. Be it professional cyclists such as Mark Cavendish, snowboarders, runners or footballers, the Isle of Man constantly looks to create Olympic-level athletes.
