Sherone Simpson and Aleen Bailey, members of Jamaica’s winning 4 by 100 relay team in Athens are also included.



The female squad also includes Brigitte Foster-Hylton, Delloreen Ennis London and Novlene Williams-Mills, all medallists at last year’s World Championships.



30 athletes of the squad will make their first trip to the Olympics.
