Medway trampoline star Kat Driscoll said it was a dream come true for her to be confirmed in Team GB’s gymnastics squad for London 2012.
The Walderslade-born star - who learned her skills at Gillingham's Jumpers Rebound Centre - earned Britain’s sole place in the Games through a series of four qualification events earlier this year.
It was fitting that the 26-year-old former World No1 - now based near Durham - topped the GB rankings as it was her qualification for last year’s World Championship Final in Birmingham which earned the single place at London 2012.
A delighted Driscoll said: "It has been a long selection process for trampoline, so to be able to come out on top and be named part of Team GB is an incredible feeling and a huge honour.
"I’ve dreamt of competing at an Olympic games since I was a child and continually told my Dad that I would be there one day as part of Team GB."
Driscoll’s event will take place at the North Greenwich Arena on Saturday, August 4.
