Athletes who gained CWG nomination standard:

It was an incredible first day of athletics where Adele Nicoll [Ryan Spencer Jones] threw a CWG standard of 16m89 which just shows what great form she is in as her previous performances showed that she was capable of throwing so well.

On day 2 we saw another 2 qualifications, once again coming in the throws. Osian Jones [Carys Parry] added another qualification standard to his collection as he took the men's Hammer victory in a consistent set of throws over 70m. The best of the series was 71.21m.
