Olympic rower Sarah Winckless has been appointed as chairman of the newly formed British Olympic Association (BOA) athletes' commission.
Winckless represented Great Britain at Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004, where she won bronze in the double sculls. She also has two World Championship gold medals.
As chairman of the new commission, which will consist of 12 athletes – six male and six female – Winckless will help to advise the BOA on all matters relating to Olympic operations, performance and policy.
"It is an honour and a privilege for me to accept this role," she said. "During my sporting career and subsequently, I have consistently pursued new challenges and opportunities.
"The BOA has the opportunity to develop and support our past, present and future Olympic athletes and the set-up of an in-house athletes' commission is a huge step towards achieving that objective.
"As chair of the commission, I will dedicate myself to ensuring that the athletes' voice is heard and considered in every major decision that the BOA takes."
