More than 100 athletes have been selected to represent Wales at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games. The selection includes a record number of para-athletes (19 athletes across six sports), while there are also more women than men in the final team selection. The Commonwealth Games begins on July 28, and runs through to August 8.
Currently, there are 125 named athletes in Team Wales - with some team sports such as hockey and rugby 7s yet to name their squads. The final total will be 199, comprised of 100 women and 99 men.
Over the next 12 days, Birmingham will welcome 72 teams and 6,500 athletes and officials to compete in what is the biggest sporting programme in Commonwealth Games' history. For the first time at a major multi-sport event, there will be more medal events for women than men (136 compared to 134). There are also a record 42 para-sports events at the Games. The opening ceremony takes place at Alexander Stadium on Thursday with coverage on BBC One from 7pm.
