Fourteen athletes have been unveiled as potential competitors for the Commonwealth Youth Games in Pune in India next year.
They were told about a full range of support services which will be made available to them at the Isle of Man Institute of Sport at a presentation last night.
They are: Gemma Astin, Rachael Franklin, Danielle Ross, Michael Haslett and David Munro from athletics; Nick Ardern and Josh Green from badminton; Daniel Roberts from boxing; Danielle Letch and Daniel Shacklock from shooting; Katie Bielich, Heather Millar, Olivia Rawlinson and Grant Halsall from swimming.
Team Manager for Pune Jill Gillings says the programme is only possible because of the Institute:
