Cyn i'r Gemau hyd yn oed ddechrau roedd llawer i ymfalchïo ynddo o ran y tîm hwn, gan fod y tîm yn dangos cydbwysedd rhwng y rhywiau ac yn un o'r rhai mwyaf amrywiol y mae ein gwlad wedi'i gynhyrchu erioed. Mae ein hathletwyr anhygoel wedi denu llawer o gefnogwyr ledled y byd yn sgil eu sbortsmonaeth a'r ysbryd positif y gwnaethant ei ddangos wrth fynd ati i gystadlu. Maent wedi dangos eu bod ymhlith y gorau o’r hyn yr ydym fel gwlad. Roedd hi'n anrhydedd llwyr i mi'n bersonol fwynhau rhai o'r perfformiadau hyn fy hun dros y pythefnos diwethaf. Hoffwn hefyd longyfarch Birmingham ar fod yn ddinas wych a chroesawgar ar gyfer cynnal y Gemau.
Before the Games had even begun there was much to be proud of with this team, one of the most diverse and gender balanced our country has ever produced. Our amazing athletes have won many fans around the globe for their sportsmanship and the positive spirit in which they have competed. They have shown themselves to be the very best of who we are as a nation and it was an absolute honour for me personally to enjoy some of these performances for myself over the past fortnight. I would also like to congratulate Birmingham on being a fantastic and welcoming host city for the Games.
