GB sliders prepare for Winter Olympics 2010

Bath-based British skeleton has announced a six-strong team to compete on the World Cup circuit this season.

Shelley Rudman, the 2006 Olympic silver medallist, is named alongside 2009 World Championship silver medallist Amy Williams and Donna Creighton.

In the men's competition, former world champion Kristan Bromley and 2009 World Championship silver medallist Adam Pengilly are joined by Andy Wood.

The 2009/10 season reaches its climax with the Vancouver Winter Olympics.

The team is currently in Canada for a series of test runs on the Whistler sliding track that will be used in the 2010 Olympics.

The World Cup series kicks off on 12 November at the Park City track in Utah, USA, while the team of six sliders will remain unchanged until at least the Christmas period.

It is the first time Great Britain has achieved qualified places for three men and three women to compete on the World Cup circuit.
