Ten male and five female sliders have been chosen with all in contention to appear at the Winter Olympics in China in February.

Last year's men's European champion Dominik Fischnaller is among the group, alongside Andrea Vötter.

Both are double Winter Olympians after competing at both Sochi 2014 and Pyeongchang 2018, with Fischnaller coming fourth at the latter Games.

The doubles team of Ludwig Rieder and Patrick Rastner are also selected and also appeared at the Games in Russia and South Korea.

Another picked is Sandra Robatscher who will make her comeback after two shoulder operations.

Dominik's cousin Kevin Fischnaller also makes the squad, with the singles group completed by Verena Hofer, Marion Oberhofer, Nina Zöggeler, Leon Felderer and Lukas Gufler.

Zöggeler is the daughter of Armin Zöggeler, a two-time Olympic gold medallist in the men's singles.

Two other doubles teams are included - Emanuel Rieder and Simon Kainz and Ivan Nagler and Fabian Malleier.

Italy will confirm its selections for the Winter Olympics after the seventh World Cup of the new season in Sigulda in Latvia.

The event is scheduled for January 8 and 9 next year, with Beijing 2022 due to open on February 4.
