Great Britain’s women’s 16-strong squad contained nine players who will proudly be taking part in their first Olympic games. Laura Unsworth played at her third Olympics, while six more participated in their second Games, having each won a historic gold medal at Rio 2016.
The men’s squad of 16 contained 12 players taking part in an Olympics for the first time. Captain Adam Dixon, David Ames, Ian Sloan and Sam Ward participated in their second Olympics, with Ward showing incredible tenacity to overcome a serious eye injury earlier in the cycle and take his place on the plane.
