Welsh Commonwealth Games hopeful Freya Jones devastated by broken javelins

Welsh Commonwealth Games hopeful Freya Jones devastated by broken javelins

Welsh record holder Jones, who is targeting the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, was the British champion in 2020.

Last year she was runner-up at the UK Championships for a fourth time when throwing a new personal best of 56.53 metres.

However, the broken javelins have hit her bid for success in Glasgow, with the women’s final at Scotstoun Stadium on Saturday, 1 August.

“With my entire focus on making the team for the Commonwealth Games, this couldn’t have come at a more devastating moment,” she said.

“To have all of my javelins damaged at this point in the season is incredibly tough. They’re not only expensive, but they’re such a personal part of what we do as throwers.”
