Chef de mission Nicola Phillips insists personal bests are the prerogative for Team Wales at Birmingham 2022 as medals and Commonwealth Games records will inevitably follow.
One of six countries to have competed in every Commonwealth Games since 1930, Wales achieved a record-breaking medal haul of 36 at the Gold Coast in 2018. That total included 10 golds, 12 silvers and 14 bronze medals to eclipse the previous leading efforts at Auckland 1990 and Glasgow 2014, and expectations are high again this summer.
But Phillips, who was also chef de mission four years ago, has challenged Team Wales athletes to focus on personal bests rather than getting caught up in chasing medals.
