Britain will compete in Olympic beach volleyball for the first time after being awarded host nation qualification places for the 2012 London Games.
British Olympic Association chief executive Andy Hunt says the women's team should be particularly competitive.
Basketball, table tennis, judo, handball, indoor volleyball, water polo and weightlifting teams also have been given spots.
Beach volleyball was introduced as an Olympic event in 1996.
