Thomson, 25, and Farrell Treacy, 26, will compete in their second Games while Farrell's younger brother Niall, 21, is named for the first time.

"Being told was like no other feeling I've experienced," Niall said.

"It's something I've been dreaming of ever since I started speed skating 13 years ago."

He added: "I knew this is where I wanted to go and I'm just so proud and more importantly honoured that I've been selected."

Thomson will race in the women's 500m, 1,000m and 1,500m while Farrell and Niall will both contest the men's 1,000m. Farrell will also go in the men's 1,500m.
