Olympic champion cyclist Emma Finucane insists she has “nothing to prove” at the Commonwealth Games despite her ambitions to win an elusive gold in Scotland.
Finucane, 23, collected Two bronze medals in Birmingham four years ago but has since won 16 medals at the Olympics, World and European Championships.
The Welsh star said he was aiming for a “top step” on the podium in Glasgow.
“I haven’t actually stood on the top step at the Commonwealth Games,” Finucane told BBC Sport Wales.
“It’s something I want to achieve at this point.
“I think I’m a different person for four years and I can’t wait to show what I can do on the track.”
The Carmarthenshire native credits the Birmingham 2022 Games as the “springboard” to where he is today.
“I wouldn’t be where I am today without the Commonwealth Games,” he said.
“The first time I was quite young, quite naive to take up sprint cycling.
“It was a very overwhelming experience, although at this point I feel like I’m an established rider.”
He added: “I was 19 (in Birmingham) and the year after I won my first world title, which was crazy for me.
“I think it gave me the confidence I needed as an athlete to develop in my career and get to where I am so quickly.
“We became Olympic champions two years ago, and I really don’t know how it happened.”
