Team stalwarts Lauren Reynolds and Anthony Dean, who boast more than a dozen World Championship campaigns between them, are ready to fire. 2016 Olympic finalist Dean heads to a six straight Worlds Championships off the back of a consistent World Cup season which has seen him recently reach the finals in the third round held in France in June. “I am excited to be a part of the team, excited to get there and showcase my skills,” said Dean, who enjoyed success on the Zolder track with a podium at the 2018 World Cup. “This year, especially leading into the Olympics for 2020, I am focussed on getting better and improve as much as I can in all aspects. “I think I am bringing a pretty good package this year to Worlds, and I am excited to get back to this track and land on the podium this year.” Dual Olympian Reynolds will take her place in the starting gate for twelfth consecutive World Championships, with the 28-year-old’s green and gold campaign beginning in 2008 in the junior category. “It is an absolute honour to be a part of the team again and putting on the national jersey, and I am very excited for the World Championships,” said Reynolds, who won World Championship silver in 2013. “It is the biggest race of the year and with one year out from the Olympic Games, the level of racing is higher than it has ever been. “Certainly I have high expectations, like every year, I have had a great preparation so am excited to get out there and put out a good performance.”
The elite team features siblings Saya Sakakibara and Kai Sakakibara, along with Erin Lockwood, Matt Krasevskis, Izaac Kennedy and Josh McLean who will make their elite World Championship debut.
The Under 19 team includes Des’ree Barnes, Matt Tidswell, Jack Davis, Oliver Moran and Corey Taylor.
