REDDITCH speed skater Charlotte Gilmartin has been picked for Great Britain’s ISU World Cup Series team.
The 24-year-old will join Elise Christite in the women’s squad, with a view to being joined by 18-year-old Kathryn Thomson.
Gilmartin finished second overall during the National Squad Open Trials.
GB Short Track performance director, Stuart Horsepool said: “Considering that this was the first event of the season following an Olympic year, I’m happy with the performances this weekend, but there was some rustiness amongst the skaters which needs to be improved before the World Cup in November.”
