Excitement is building...
The excitement and expectation is rising as we continue the countdown to the 2014 Commonwealth Games. It won’t be long before our athletes will be checking into the Athletes’ Village in Glasgow...writes Sarah Powell, Chief Executive of Sport Wales.
Today, the countdown reaches a key milestone as Commonwealth Games Wales hosts a Send Off event for all the athletes and I am delighted to be attending on behalf of Sport Wales.
Wales is fielding its largest ever team with all four team sports having qualified for the first time in history. Competing in all 17 sports, I for one cannot wait for competition to start.
There are coaches and support staff who we are indebted to and of course the first PE teachers and the first club coaches who recognised talent and potential.
CGCW – together with local partners - also brought about all the amazing scenes during the Queen’s Baton Relay through Wales in May and really rallied the nation behind Team Wales.
But now it’s up to our athletes. We know they will push themselves to succeed because they have an unshakeable pride in what they do. I wish you all the very best of luck.
