LONDON (Reuters) - Olympic sailing silver medallist Luke Patience was named in Britain's Rio Olympic squad on Wednesday after having to re-qualify when his previous 470 class partner Elliot Willis was diagnosed with bowel cancer.

Patience, who won silver at London 2012 with Stuart Bithell, will compete at the Games in August with new partner Chris Grube.
