Weightlifter Catrin Haf Jones finished sixth in the women's 58kg final in Glasgow.

The 27-year-old from Bangor was competing in her third Games and lifted a snatch of 82kg which placed her sixth at the halfway stage.

Jones lifted 106kg in her clean and jerk to complete a total of 188kg.

"It was a bit of a whirlwind," said Jones.

"I am proud of my performance today, especially after Birmingham in 2022 did not go to plan where I did not put a score on the board."

Nigerian Rafiatu Folashade Lawal won the gold medal.
