Williamson picked for sixth Olympics
Alison Williamson has been selected for her sixth Olympic Games as Team GB's archery team was unveiled at Lord's.
Williamson narrowly missed out on an automatic spot at the final selection shoot at Lilleshall last month but has been handed the final discretionary place, with Alan Wills earning the discretionary place in the men's team.
Williamson's selection, confirmed by performance director Sara Symington and head coach Lloyd Brown, makes her only the third Briton after javelin thrower Tessa Sanderson and fencer Bill Hoskyns to win a place at six Olympics.
The host nation will have the maximum of three archers in both the men's and women's competitions and compete in both team events.
