Bebington (r) and Laverick won gold at the World Cup in Poznan

Longsdon rower Anna Bebington will represent Great Britain at the Olympics in Beijing this summer after being named in the squad on Thursday.

Bebington will be rowing with Elise Laverick in the women's double scull.

They will be confident of becoming the first female rowers to win Olympic gold for Great Britain after winning the World Cup regatta in Poland on Sunday.

Bebington told BBC Radio Stoke: "It's time to focus and knuckle down now, to find those extra few seconds of speed."
