Having served as the Chef de Mission for Pyeongchang 2018, Hay will act as a deputy at Tokyo 2020.

Hay will be responsible for sport, with his role, including operational areas such as accommodation, kit and accreditation.

"With the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games now just one calendar year away our focus is firmly on ensuring that Team GB are the best prepared National Olympic Committee at the Games," said England.

"Mike, Georgie and Paul have a wealth of Olympic experience and their expertise and passion for Team GB and the Olympic Games gives me confidence that we have the pillars in place to ensure that every athlete who qualifies onto Team GB is able to achieve their best performance in Tokyo."

Next year’s Olympic Games in Tokyo are due to take place from July 24 to August 9.

The BOA has also confirmed Lewis Coggins and Elaine Skilton as the Chef de Missions for the upcoming European Winter and Summer Youth Olympic Festivals respectively.
