Paula Radcliffe has been named in Great Britain's Olympic team for the fifth time in her career.
The 37-year-old has been selected in the marathon squad along with Mara Yamauchi and Scott Overall to compete in London next year.
Bedford and County Athletic Club runner Radcliffe admitted that she was "over the moon" to have been chosen to represent Team GB.
"To represent your country at a home Olympics is something special and I'm over the moon to be selected for Team GB," said the former world number one.
"I was pleased to get the qualifying time in Berlin earlier this year and my sole focus is getting in the right shape for London. I'm just fully concentrating on being fully prepared for next year."
Radcliffe will become only the third British track athlete to have been selected for five Olympic competitions.
