The New Zealand Olympic Committee (NZOC) has selected Liza Hunter-Galvan to compete in the women's marathon at the Beijing Olympic Games.
Hunter-Galvan was nominated to the NZOC on Monday by Athletics NZ and the three Olympic selectors reviewed the information and confirmed her selection this afternoon.
Barry Maister, NZOC secretary-general and Olympic selector welcomed Hunter-Galvan to the team.
"We acknowledge that this particular selection has, for a number of reasons, been a complex one. However, we are satisfied that the nomination process has been thorough and that she has met the New Zealand Olympic selection criteria," he said.
