Gymnast Abigail Roper claimed Commonwealth Games bronze in the women's vault in Glasgow.

It was Wales' first women's vault medal since Sonia Lawrence in 1994, while Roper's identical twin sister Emily finished fourth.

Canada's Lia-Monica Fontaine claimed gold, with England's Abigail Martin finishing second.

It was Wales' fifth Commonwealth Games medal in Glasgow after four podium finishes of one silver and three bronze in the pool, with the wait for gold continuing.

"I can't even put into words how crazy it is," said Abigail.

"I went into this final with no expectations, it was my first final at a major tournament and I was just happy to make it.

"To come away with a bronze medal is just insane."

Abigail admitted she felt for her sister, who had a further chance to win a medal in the uneven bars later on Monday.

"I want to be happy for myself but then at the same time like I feel bad for her," Abigail said.

"Fourth is not the best after coming fourth in the team final, we found that hard.

"She's got the bars final now, so she just needs to keep her head focused and hopefully she'll do a really good job."

"I didn't want to go all out for the heat, I'm saving myself for the final and I'm excited for later.

The Team Wales captain celebrated her 30th birthday yesterday.

After two failures, she threw 59.14 on her final attempt which left her 13th in the standings, one shy of a place in tomorrow's medal event.
