'I would like to congratulate all those who have been selected for the squad, whether as newcomers or those returning for another season! This is a reflection of their commitment and dedication and the performance team look forward to working with the athletes in 2018. Following on from our most successful JWOC in Finland, in terms of results, this is an exciting time for the GB Team and we hope that this squad will build on this and grasp the opportunities that will be coming their way next season."
