The British Olympic Association (BOA) has announced the first recruits to its newly introduced sport engagement team.
Tanya Crook has been appointed head of summer sport engagement and will lead the team, which is expected to expand to five members by the end of 2010.
Crook is a former chief operating officer of the British Paralympic Association.
Also joining the BOA is Team GB Olympic bronze medallist Georgina Harland, who started last week as a sport engagement manager.
Harland, who won modern pentathlon bronze at the Athens 2004 Olympic Games, joins another former Olympian, Bernie Cotton, in the sport engagement manager role.
The sport engagement team will act as the key point of contact between Olympic sports national governing bodies and the BOA.
Clive Woodward, BOA director of sport, said: “The newly created sport engagement team will play a crucial role for Team GB in 2012 and beyond, liaising directly with the national governing bodies of Olympic sports.
“The competitive environment in international sport is more challenging now than ever, so it is important we continue to raise our game to meet the needs of athletes and national governing bodies.”
