1. AMBER HILL - SHOOTING
Amber (18) is competing in the skeet after winning gold at the European Games in Baku last year. She said: 'Baku prepared me on a smaller scale of what to expect and hopefully I'll see the benefits in Rio.'
2. MOE SBIHI AND PAM RELPH - ROWING
Moe (28) competes in the Olympic men's four after winning bronze in the eight in London. He said: 'Being an Olympic medallist is cool but we are striving to be a champion.' Pam Relph, 26, goes in the mixed coxed four at the Paralympics having won gold in 2012.
3. ROBBIE GRABARZ - HIGH JUMP
Robbie (28) won bronze at the Olympic Stadium four years ago and is determined to do even better this time after knee surgery in 2014. 'Preparations are going really well,' he said. 'I am putting everything technical into place. It is a great place to be in ahead of the Games.'
4. JOSEF CRAIG - PARALYMPIC SWIMMING
Josef (19) was Britain's youngest medallist at the 2012 Paralympics, winning 400m freestyle gold — and was named BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year. He said: 'I'm in the best shape of my life and really can't wait to compete.'
5. MAX WHITLOCK - GYMNASTICS
Max (23) last year became the first British man to win World Championships gymnastics gold, on the pommel horse. He said: 'I know I can push myself further. I have to make sure I'm performing clean routines on the day.'
6. JADE JONES - TAEKWONDO
Jade (23) will be hoping to replicate the success she tasted in London 2012 when she won gold in front of her home crowd. She said of this summer's Games in Brazil: 'It’s a different pressure this time - I was the underdog last time, but if I don’t win gold in Rio I’ll be devastated.'
