Jessica Learmonth and double Olympic champion Alistair Brownlee have been selected by British Triathlon as part of a team of nine athletes to compete at the Glasgow 2018 European Championships.
The multi-sport Games get under way on 2 August with the triathlon events scheduled for 9-11 August in Strathclyde Park.
The team of triathletes from Great Britain features a mix of experience and youth with Brownlee the oldest male selected and 30-year-old Learmonth out to defend her European title.
There are new senior caps in the shape of Barclay Izzard, who is just 19, and Beth Potter, who has plenty of experience on the track and continues her progression as a triathlete.
There are individual European titles on the line as well as a Mixed Relay title for teams of two men and two women. Glasgow successfully hosted the Commonwealth Games in 2014, and Learmonth was part of the huge crowd that enjoyed seeing home nations success there.
Learmonth said: “I watched the Commonwealth Games in 2014 and the course and the home support were incredible in Strathclyde Park.
“To have the opportunity to defend my European title there is something I’m really looking forward to, as well as potentially racing in the Mixed Relay.”
The women’s team also features Sophie Coldwell, second to Learmonth at the ETU European Championships last year, and 2016 champion India Lee - Non Stanford adds further experience.
Alistair Brownlee is included in the team but will need to assess his fitness closer to the start of the championships before confirming his place on the start line.
Marc Austin, the 2018 Commonwealth bronze medal winner, will be racing in front of a home crowd, as will Grant Sheldon.
Loughborough University student Barclay Izzard makes his senior debut having won a round of the ETU European Cup in March in Gran Canaria, Spain.
