Davis named in British team

"Now we have a training camp in Cyprus so the first thing to do is acclimatise to the Mediterranean climate and get my training under way."

Ricky Soos has been picked for the 800m, Emeka Udechuku is in the discus while Dwayne Grant and Nick Smith have been added to the 4x100m relay squad.

Also named in the team for Athens is decathlete Dean Macey, who proved his fitness to selectors at Hexham over the weekend with a solid performance in his first competition for three years.

Jo Pavey, a finalist over 5,000m at the last Olympic Games, has been added to the women's 1,500m line-up, giving her a chance to pick which event she feels she is fit for after injury.

Sarah Claxton will run in the 100m hurdles, Shelley Newman, who beat Philippa Roles at Loughborough, joins her in the discus team, and Welsh star Catherine Murphy is added to the 4x400m squad after injury. UK performance director Max Jones, said: "A number of good quality performances took place in the week following the Olympic trials and as a result we have picked additional athletes.

"The squad of 58 is now equivalent to the athletics squad for Sydney when taking into consideration the high IOC and IAAF qualifying standards for the 2004 Games. It is good to see Dean Macey back in the team, which will be positive for all of them. All 58 members can now concentrate on preparing to produce their best for Britain."
