New Zealand's Shanelle Barrett and Juliet Fahey have been selected by the International Triathlon Union to officiate at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
The pair are included in a contingent of 27 international technical officials who will oversee and officiate the triathlon competition in London.
The selected officials hail from a record number of nations, with 25 different countries represented, three more than at the Beijing Olympic Games.
Since Beijing 2008, the selected group of technical officials has overseen a combined 190 events at the ITU World Triathlon Series, World Championships and World Cups.
Seven nations will officiate at the Olympic Games for the first time, a result of ITU's comprehensive technical officials' education programme and focus on increased development.
