Olivia Breen produces stunning performance to win Wales' third Commonwealth Games gold

Wales' Olivia Breen produced a stunning performance to take Commonwealth Games gold in the Women’s T37/38 100m final in Birmingham.

Breen recorded a personal best of 12.83s to push England's Sophie Hahn into second place to bring home Wales' third gold medal of the games so far.

Breen shrieked with delight when the realisation dawned on her, while defending champion Hahn was left devastated on the track.

Commentating on BBC, Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson said: "In the first 20m I thought (Breen) pushed it too hard and I thought she would fade but she kept going.

"I could see Sophie Hahn beginning to tie up."

It takes Wales' medals tally to 13 following bronze for Jasmine Hacker-Jones in judo and gold for Jarrad Breen and Daniel Salmon who produced a sublime display to secure a 19-18 victory over English duo Jamie Walker and Sam Tolchard in the lawn bowls final. Victory lifted Wales above Malaysia and Nigeria up to eighth place in the overall medals table.
