Commonwealth Games 2026: Roper twins secure historic double bronze for Wales
Welsh identical twins Abigail and Emily Roper each won a bronze medal in gymnastics on July 27, 2026, at the Commonwealth Games—a multisport competition bringing together nations of the Commonwealth—in Glasgow. This marks a historic first for Wales's team at these Games. Abigail earned bronze on vault in the morning, with her sister Emily finishing fourth in the same event. Emily then claimed bronze on uneven bars later that afternoon. Wales now totals six medals in Glasgow.
