Beth Tweddle and Louis Smith are both included in the British team for next month's Artistic Gymnastics European Championships.
Tweddle won the bars and floor titles at the last two European Championships in Birmingham and Milan.
Smith claimed silver on the pommel horse last year, while Daniel Purvis also took home a medal, getting the bronze on the floor.
This year's European Championships take place in Berlin from April 6-10.
Tweddle said: "This year's European Championships is all about trying out new skills. Some people might see that as a risk, but obviously 2011 is the year to try it with the Olympics ahead of us.
"I've always enjoyed competing at the European Championships and have had great success, particularly in the past two years.
"This year's championships will be a tough challenge with all gymnasts now fine tuning their routines ahead of a huge year, so it will be very interesting to see how everyone gets on in Berlin."
British team: Louis Smith, Dan Purvis, Kristian Thomas, Theo Seager, Sam Hunter, Sam Oldham, Beth Tweddle, Hannah Whelan, Jenni Pinches, Danusia Francis
