Is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland the best all round sporting nation?

I see no other countries consistently winning in most world sports.

Football: Undefeated in the euros and won every game in qualifying

Rugby: Grand slam Six Nations champions and destroyed the Australians in their own back yard.

Tennis: Davis cup world champions, and the only real challenger to Djok

Golf: Danny Willett current masters champion and Mcilroy still tearing people up

Boxing: Dominating in pretty much every weight, two heavyweight world champions

Cricket: Won the ashes comfortably, T20 world cup finalists and smashed Sri Lanka in one days without losing a wicket.

Swimming: Adam peaty is dominating the sport currently holding 3 world records

Motor racing: Current formula one world champion and a majority of the cars are built in the UK

Cycling: tour de France world champions 3 years running.

What has every one else been up to?
