Freshford teenager Miles Burton has been named as the youngest member of British Triathlon's World-Class Performance Squad for 2014.
The 17-year-old joins the likes of Olympic medalists Alistair and Jonny Brownlee in receiving UK Sport Lottery funding.
Also in the podium potential squad is Larkhall's Matt Sharp, who was the highest-placed British male at Sunday's New Plymouth World Cup in New Zealand.
British Triathlon performance director Brendan Purcell said: "The Home Nations have been working hard to develop the talent pathways into the World-Class programme and as a result we now have more athletes hitting the standard.
"We have, of course, benefited from an increase in UK Sport Lottery Funding and that has allowed us to bring in additional athletes who have demonstrated their potential to win international medals and ultimately go on to feature at the Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
"Having a bigger squad and a strong support team will also be good for creating a culture of healthy competition and team working within the squad."
