Medals will be on the agenda after British Rowing announced its squad for the World Rowing Championship in the United States next month.
The 64-strong team includes four Olympic gold-medal winning athletes, and 14 Olympians in total, as they steel themselves for the championships in Sarasota-Bradenton, Florida, between September 24 and October 1.
Great Britain’s form heading into the championships is good - they won the World Rowing Cup series by 26 points from New Zealand – including two individual event titles.
The men’s four of Matt Rossiter, Moe Sbihi, Matthew Tarrant and Will Satch won silver at the second round of the World Cup in Poznan in June, before going one better in the final round in Lucerne, Switzerland the following month.
Another triumphant World Cup outfit are unchanged, with Jack Beaumont, Jonny Walton, John Collins and Peter Lambert, who won gold in Poznan as well as silver in Lucerne, reunited in the men’s quadruple sculls.
Vicky Thornley will hope to continue her consistent form – she has a European title and two silvers from World Cup competitions this season in the single scull, while Tom Barras will go in the men’s single.
Elsewhere, Rio 2016 Olympic champion Tom Ransley returns surgery to remove his appendicitis to take his place in the men’s eight, while London 2012 winner Katherine Copeland is paired with Emily Craig in the lightweight women’s double sculls.
Karen Bennett, and Holly Norton will both compete in the women's eight - Bennett winning silver in Rio, and the crew claimed bronze in Lucerne and silver in Poznan.
British Rowing Performance Director, Sir David Tanner, said: “The 2017 World Championships come at the end of a long, but rewarding season for the GB Rowing Team. "We have seen some exceptional performances over the course of the summer to win a number of European Championships and World Cup medals and we were, of course, pleased to win the overall World Cup title.
“That distinction highlights our consistency across what is a foundation season in our build up to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games. "These Championships are what we’ve built our season around and we plan to be at our peak in Sarasota at the end of September.”
