Two young athletes have been selected for the UK team heading for Rio.

Team GB announced it British weightlifters Rebekah Tiler and Sonny Webster will make their Olympic debuts in Rio de Janeiro. Teen Sensation Rebekah Tiler is set to compete in the female -69kg category, while 22-year-old Sonny Webster will be holding the British flag in the male -94kg category.

Tiller, 17, from Kayley, West Yorkshire, will be one of Team GB’s youngest athletes at the Olympics this summer. She appears as the British champion who won two British records in the recent UK championship. She is also the winner of the Youth Federation’s gold medal. Sonny Webster is similarly the current British champion, finishing fifth in the 2014 Commonwealth Games and is the record holder for the U23 UK.

On her choice for Rio, Tiller commented:

“I’m really looking forward to representing Team GB in Rio this summer. It’s a dream come true and something I’ve always wanted since I entered the sport. Preparing for the next few weeks is so important, and I’m 100% focused on being at the best that could potentially be headed for Rio.”

Webster from Bristol commented similarly:

“The Olympics are definitely the biggest stage of the sport. I’ve trained a lot. My recent performance at the UK Championships has given me a great platform based on me. Preparation for the next few weeks is very important.”

Former female favorite Zoe Smith was taken away from running on a dislocated shoulder At the British Championships last month. Smith expressed his disappointment in his Instagram post today that he will not represent Team GB in the game, but wished Tiler good luck in the summer game.
