How is it “current” when it happened 100 years ago? (GB cricket gold, US rugby gold).

Nonetheless, they are the current Olympic champions, albeit 100 years ago (USA: 1924 rugby union, UK: 1900 cricket). From then on, these competitions were no longer part of the Olympic program.

But like discussions about the introduction of a rugby league competition for the Olympic Games 2032 in Brisbane (Australia) and T20 cricket competition 2028 in Los Angeles (USA), there is always the possibility of an eventual reintroduction of the former competitions at the Olympics.
