Olympic bronze medallist Georgia Hunter Bell is in Great Britain's team for this month's World Athletics Indoor Championship in China.

Hunter Bell claimed bronze in the 1500m on her Olympic debut at Paris 2024, three years after she returned to the sport.

The 31-year-old has since left her job in cyber security to focus on athletics full time.

She will race in the women's 1500m at the event in Nanjing from 21-23 March along with team-mate Revee Walcott-Nolan, who took bronze at the European Athletics Indoor Championship in the Netherlands last weekend.

Amy Hunt, part of Britain's 4x100m women's relay squad that won silver at Paris 2024, has also been named in the party and will take part in the 60m.

Jeremiah Azu, bronze medallist in the men's 4x100m at last year's Games, will contest the same distance in the men's event.

The 23-year-old claimed men's 60m gold at the European Indoors last Saturday with a personal best of 6.49 seconds.

Andy Robertson will also take part in the 60m after he picked up the bronze medal behind Azu at Apeldoorn arena.

Pole vaulter Molly Caudery was one of only two British women to win a gold medal at the 2024 World Indoors in Glasgow and will attempt to defend her crown in China.

Olympic 4x400m relay bronze medal winner Amber Anning will take part in the women's 400m, Innes FitzGerald is set to contest the 3,000m and Funminiyi Olajide the long jump.

George Mills will race in the men's 3,000m on the back of a silver medal at the European Indoors, Adam Fogg and Neil Gourley are inked in for the 1500m while Scott Lincoln will take part in the shot put.

The World Indoors normally take place every two years, but the event in Nanjing has been rescheduled from 2020 after it was postponed because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
