Double Commonwealth Games gold medalist Olivia Breen has been named Team Wales captain for Glasgow 2026.
The 29-year-old will lead a team of 115 athletes in his fourth Commonwealth Games.
He won gold in the T38 100m at Birmingham 2022, a bronze medal in the same event and T38 long jump gold at the Gold Coast four years ago.
“It means a lot,” Breen said. “I can’t wait to see Tim Wales do everything to make everyone in Wales proud.
“Wales is a big part of me and I was team captain for the athletics team but obviously to be captain of the whole Wales team, it’s just mind blowing.”
Breen won two Paralympic bronze medals in the T35-38 4x100m relay in London 2012 and the T38 long jump at the delayed Tokyo Games in 2021.
On Breen being named captain, Team Wales chef de mission Gethin Jones said: “It’s not just success, it’s the way he is.
“He’s amazing with the team, he always has a smile on his face, he really believes in Wales and I think he’s the right choice.”
The Games begin in Glasgow on July 23, and run until August 2.
Athletes will compete in 10 different sports with 67 female and 48 male competitors in Team Wales and aged 16 to 73 years.
