Team GB will be represented in synchronised swimming at the Olympic Games in Rio this summer, after an official quota placed was confirmed by international federation Fina.
The news comes following the performances of Katie Clark and Olivia Federici who finished in first place in the Duet Free second round at the Olympic Gamews Synchronised Swimming Qualification Tournament in Rio.
The duo both competed at London 2012 before retiring but returned to the sport in November last year.
And they made an impressive start to 2016 with a top ten finish at the German Open – their first international competition since the 2013 World Championships – before again putting in an encouraging performance at the French Open a week later.
And with their quota place now confirmed, Clark and Federici will be in the mix for selection for the two team places alongside Genevieve Randall and Jodie Cowie.
Synchronised swimming lead Karen Thorpe said: “Achieving the Olympic quota place is a real testament to the hard work that has been done not only by Katie and Olivia but also Genevieve and Jodie.
"Our national coach Katie Chapman has worked tirelessly to make sure the athletes were in the best position to secure that vital quota place for the Games.
"We have had some ups and downs since London 2012 but this has to be a highlight for the sport. Over the last two years the synchro community has really united to help progress the sport, and in many ways it is stronger than ever. We now have four months that will be spent working hard to ensure we are at our best in Rio.
"I'm proud of the progress that Katie and Olivia have made since returning last year and I know that alongside Genevieve and Jodie we will be able to select a strong duet for Rio."
