British Cycling has today announced the team selected to represent GB in the Cross Country event at the 2012 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships taking place in Saalfelden, Austria, from August 29th to September 9th.
The team, the biggest selected by British Cycling for an overseas World Championships, will include three Olympians in Annie Last, Liam Killeen and Oliver Beckingsale.

Last, 21, is currently ranked sixth in the world on the back of a career-best season and will compete in Under-23 category at the World Championships, where she has won two silver medals in the last two years.

Kenta Gallagher, 20, is also having a career-best season with a second national title and two top-10 finishes in World Cups. He is ranked 15th in the world.
