Walsh, silver medallist in Athens four years ago, will compete in the men's single kayak with Florence in the single canoe. Pennie races in the women's single kayak.

Chef de mission Simon Clegg said: "I am delighted that a mix of old and new faces will be joining Team GB for the canoe slalom events at the Olympic Games this year.
