Wales’ fastest woman, Hannah Brier, will be absent from the Commonwealth Games to be held in Glasgow in 2026 owing to the fact that her phenomenal performance in the 200 meters race happened after the selection date for the Team Wales squad. There has been anger in Welsh athletics because the sprinter set a new record for the country’s women.
Hannah Brier clocked 22.79 seconds in the 200m race at the London Games and managed to break a Welsh record that stood for 44 years. The record was held by Michelle Scutt, who won the title in 1982. Brier’s timing was sufficient to claim a bronze medal at the past Commonwealth Games. Nevertheless, her achievement took place after the 17th of May deadline.
