Jones (pictured above) is a cyclist and skier, who has competed in both Summer and Winter Paralympics since her debut at Salt Lake City 2002, when she claimed silver medals in super G and giant slalom.

She has since claimed a slalom gold in Turin in 2006 and won gold medals in the UCI Para-Cycling Road World Championships in both the individual time trial and individual road race.

Muffy Davis will be going to her third Paralympics, but like Jones, she has also won skiing medals at the Winter Games.

Earning a place on the Paralympic team for her three silver medals at the Para-cycling Worlds in 2010, she gained bronze in the Nagano 1998 Winter Paralympics and three silvers in Salt Lake City four years' later.

Among the team are three US military veterans, including Beijing 2008 gold medallists Jennifer Schuble and Oz Sanchez, and former Navy recruit Steve Peace.


Anthony Zahn (pictured above), a bronze medallist from the 2008 Paralympics, is also heading to London, as is fellow Beijing competitor Greta Neimanas, who also went to Athens 2004.

Meg Fisher, Alicia Dana, Joe Berenyi, Anthony Pedeferri, Clark Rachfal and David Swanson complete the selection.

The announcement was made following the US Paralympic Road Cycling National Championships in Augusta.

The US will hope to repeat its success from Beijing, where they won 14 medals in total in cycling, five of them gold.
