“Dyma gyfle euraid i Gymru a’i 223 o athletwyr sydd wedi gweithio’n galed iawn i gyrraedd yma, gyda chymorth Gemau’r Gymanwlad Cymru a Thîm Cymru. Rwy’n falch iawn o gael bod yma i gefnogi tîm Cymru wrth iddynt brofi eu hunain yn erbyn goreuon y byd.
“This is a magnificent opportunity for Wales and our 223 athletes who, with the support of Commonwealth Games Wales and Sport Wales have worked so hard to be here, and I am proud to be cheering on team Wales as they test themselves against the very best in the world.
