LONDON, May 9 (Xinhua) -- Alison Williamson will compete in her sixth successive Olympic Games this summer after being confirmed as a member of Team GB.

The 40-year-old, set to become only the third Briton to achieve the feat, has been picked as a wild-card entry by performance director Sara Symington and Olympic coach Lloyd Brown.

"I'm thrilled and proud to have made it to my sixth Olympics," said Williamson to the BBC.

"It makes all the sacrifices and hard work over many years worthwhile."

Williamson, who made her Olympic debut in Barcelona in 1992, added: "I can start to look forward to the enormous honor of representing my country at a home Olympic Games."
