WINTER SPORTS Bath's Amy Williams has been named in British Skeleton's six-strong team to compete on the World Cup circuit for the first part of 2009-10 – a season that culminates in the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada.

Williams, who won a silver medal at this year's World Championships, will be joined by 2006 Winter Olympic runner-up Shelley Rudman and Donna Creighton in the women's team.

Former World Champion Kristan Bromley and 2009 silver medallist Adam Pengilly are joined in the men's team by Andy Wood. All six train on the University of Bath's unique bob skeleton track.

It is the first time Great Britain has qualified places for three men and three women to compete on the Fédération Internationale de Bobsleigh et de Tobogganing (FIBT) World Cup circuit.

Williams is currently in Canada along with her team-mates for a series of test runs on the Whistler Sliding Centre track that will be used at the Winter Olympics.

She will then head to Park City in the US state of Utah for the first World Cup event of the season on November 12.
