The Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) has formally added 15 members to its athletics team for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, including middle-distance stars Linden Hall and Catriona Bisset and discus world champion Dani Stevens.
Hall, who made the final of the women's 1500 metres at the Rio 2016 Olympics and Bisset, the new women's Australian national record holder at 800m and 2019 Universiade champion, are some of the most notable names to be confirmed.
World and two-time Commonwealth Games gold medallist Stevens is set to feature in her fourth Games and will aim to win her first Olympic medal, having made the discus final three times.
