Parents share joy at Letton-Jones' silver medal

The parents of Wales' first medallist of the Glasgow Commonwealth Games say it has still not sunk in that daughter Ela Letton-Jones won silver.

The 19-year-old finished second in the women's S13 100m freestyle behind Australian Jenna Jones.

"I was calm just before it, and then literally five minutes before it suddenly dawned on me that it was happening," said her mother Jo.

"I just went to pieces. We were making so much noise, it was quite embarrassing, really.

"We lost control and we were just swimming with her. It was brilliant!

"This morning we woke up and it was just like, 'wow, that's just happened'. All the messages, everyone's support has just been phenomenal."

Letton-Jones will race once more in the S13 50m freestyle and dad Iolo is more relaxed now Ela has won a medal.

"There's no pressure, really," he said. "It's only 50 metres, so just swim as fast as you can."

"I'm just going to enjoy now," added mum Jo. "Whatever happens, she's done so amazingly, anything else would be a bonus."
