Fodd bynnag, yn gyntaf hoffwn longyfarch y 68 o bobl o Gymru a fu’n cystadlu yn y Gemau Olympaidd a Pharalympaidd am eu gorchestion rhagorol. Mae gemau cartref yn 2012 wedi ysbrydoli’r athletwyr, eu hyfforddwyr, eu timau cymorth a’r cyrff llywodraethu i greu perfformiadau cwbl unigryw a bydd Cymru, ynghyd â gweddill y DU, yn edrych ar 2012 fel carreg filltir yn natblygiad rhagoriaeth ar y maes chwarae.
First of all, however, it falls to me to congratulate the 68 Welsh Olympians and Paralympians on their outstanding sporting achievements. The 2012 phenomenon of a home games is one that truly inspired the athletes, their coaches, support teams and the governing bodies to some once in a lifetime performances and Wales, along with the rest of the UK, will look back on 2012 as a definitive milestone in the development of sporting excellence.
