Welsh Commonwealth Games call for Bryony Raine


Bryony Raine competes for UWIC University in Cardiff

Promising pole vaulter Bryony Raine has been called up for the Team Wales squad at next month's Commonwealth Games.
The 24-year-old was bronze medallist at the 2009 UK Championships and will make her major event debut in Delhi.
And while Raine wins a call-up, teenage decathlete David Guest has withdrawn from the athletics team due to injury.
The 18-year-old sustained a knee injury in the World Junior Championships in Canada so has been forced to pull out of the 22-man athletics squad.
Raine, meanwhile, has been rewarded with a Commonwealth call for jumping a personal best of 4.15 metres earlier in the year.
The Cardiff athlete will join European championship medallists Dai Greene, Rhys Williams and Christian Malcolm in the Delhi-bound athletics squad.
But the UWIC student will be focusing on gaining experience on her international debut.
