Olympic head coach Christian Malcolm said: “We are pleased to be adding 14 athletes to the Great Britain and Northern Ireland team for Oregon. We believe those added to the team meet the objectives of the policy, that maximised medal success, individual top 8 placings, and the number of athletes progressing through rounds.

“We are taking a large team of 77 to Oregon with athletes competing across a number of disciplines which is really encouraging to see and is healthy for the sport overall. I look forward to seeing how they all perform in America in a couple of weeks.”
