Great Britain announce World Championships team

Olympians Naomi Folkard, Amy Oliver and Larry Godfrey represent the more experienced members of the six-strong recurve squad with Nicky Hung, Kieran Slater and Patrick Huston all making their senior World Championships bow.

There are a further six archers for the compound discipline – Naomi Jones, Danielle Brown and Lucy O'Sullivan in the female competition and Adam Ravenscroft, Mark Rudd and Duncan Busby in the men's.

The competition, which runs from July 26 to August 2, will culminate with medal matches outside Danish Parliament building, the Christiansborg Palace.

"The World Championships will be the first opportunity for the recurve archers to secure quota places for Rio 2016," said Archery GB head of performance Oliver Logan.

"This event provides a high-pressured environment to compete against the best in the world providing invaluable experience ahead of the Olympics next year.

"In June, Kieran reached the last 16 at the European Games in Baku competing against the top archers in Europe, which was the best preparation Kieran could have hoped for going into the World Championships."
