The British Olympic Association has named the athletes who will form the triathlon team for this year's Games.
The men's team will comprise former world junior champion Tim Don, Andrew Johns and Paul Amey.
Michelle Dillon, Jodie Swallow and Julie Dibens will compete in the women's event.
"The performances of our triathlon squad over the past few years suggests we can be successful in Athens," said BOA chief executive Simon Clegg.
All six athletes have previously competed at the top level and team leader Graeme Maw said their wealth of experience should prove useful.
"The nature of the sport allows for many different scenario on race days, and with proven medallists across the board we should be competitive in many of these," he said.
"With four of the six - Don, Johns, Dibens and Dillon - having been through triathlon's Olympic debut in Sydney, we will also be carrying experience to deal with the unique environment. "
