Four of the Great Britain wheelchair curling team who claimed bronze at Sochi 2014 have been selected for the Winter Paralympics in Pyeongchang in March.
Skip Aileen Neilson will be competing at her third games, while Gregor Ewan and Robert McPherson are making their second appearances.
Angie Malone MBE who won a silver medal in Turin in 2006 is GB's most decorated Paralympic curler and is set to take part in her fourth Games, while Hugh Nibloe will be making his games debut.
The team will compete at the Gangeung Curling Centre in Pyeongchang, the venue where the same group claimed a bronze medal for Scotland at the Wheelchair Curling World Championships in 2017.
Neilson said: "I'm delighted to be leading this team into the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games. We have all worked so hard over this cycle and are ready to return to Paralympic competition to take on the best in the world."
Wednesday's announcement takes the number of athletes currently selected for ParalympicsGB to 14 after nine alpine skiers and snowboarders were announced last week.
