Teenager Ruby Evans has had a brilliant 12 months.
In October 2025, she won silver in the floor exercise at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Indonesia.
And in March this year she became the first Welsh athlete in more than 50 years to win the all-around title at the British Championships in Liverpool.
This will be Evans’ first Commonwealth Games, having not quite been old enough to compete in Birmingham in 2022.
“I was three months off my birthday last time, but I’m excited because I’ve always wanted to do the Commonwealth Games,” said the 19-year-old.
“I’ve always wanted to do something for Wales because everything’s always Great Britain, which is obviously amazing, but I think just competing for my home country will be such a special feeling.
“Things are going well, I did the British Championships and won that, so that gave me confidence.
“I would say [there is] a bit of pressure, but I wouldn’t say it’s too much because I don’t like to put pressure on myself. I just like to go with the flow and then whatever happens, happens.”
