Scotland's Katherine Grainger will lead an unchanged line-up in the Great Britain women's quadruple scull at this summer's Olympic Games.
The announcement of the team had been delayed due to injuries and some strong performances in trials from athletes not in the crew.
But Grainger will again team up with Fran Houghton, Debbie Flood and Annie Vernon to go for gold in Beijing.
The 32-year-old from Aberdeen is Britain's most successful ever oarswoman with two Olympic silver medals and four World Championship golds.
"Without a doubt the main aim of this year will be bringing back the first ever Olympic Gold medal for the GB women's squad", said Grainger.
"Germany has traditionally dominated our event ever since its creation and so are always a powerful force to reckon with, but this year China will prove to be a huge rival as they will have so much pride in their home Olympics, I would expect to see them putting out some strong crews at the World Cups."
