    Welsh gymnast Ruby Evans finished seventh in the balance beam final that was won by Australia's Breanna Scott.

    This is not the event Evans was targeting for a medal today, that will come later in the floor at 15:40 BST.

    Evans pulled out of Monday's uneven bars final as identical twins Abigail and Emily Roper created a bit of history by both winning bronze on the vault and uneven bars respectively within a couple of hours of each other.

    Wales women had also finished fourth in the team event.

    Also today, Elliot Vernon will compete in the parallel bars final at 14:50 BST and Alexander Niscoveanu will be part of the horizontal bar final at 16:20 BST.

    Para-swimmer Ela Letton-Jones began her campaign for a second Commonwealth Games medal by qualifying fifth fastest for tonight's women's 50m freestyle S13 heat.

    Letton-Jones, who won Wales first medal at the Commonwealth Games when she claimed silver in the 100m, will go in the final at 19:32 BST in Glasgow.

    This will be just after Matt Richards aims for his first Commonwealth Games individual medal in the men's 100m freestyle final at 19:18 BST.

    Lewis Fraser (50m butterfly), Meghan Higgs and Theodora Taylor (women's 50m freestyle heats) and Jack Knight (men's 100m backstroke) qualified for semi-finals.

    Charlotte Henrich and Justin Davies are safely through to their respective semi-finals after the second morning of competition for Welsh athletes at Scotstoun Stadium.

    Henrich, 19, ran the third fastest time in qualifying as she won her 400m heat in a time of 52.13 seconds.

    The top eight-ranked athletes will join at the semi-final stage on Thursday where Henrich says she'd be "disappointed" if she doesn't make Saturday's final.

    Having run a personal best 11 days ago, Henrich says if the wind settles down that the track could be fast enough to see her break the Welsh record again for the third time in six weeks.

    Davies finished second in his 800m heat in a time of 1:46.98.

    He came into the race seeded fifth and says second place "was a dream come true."

    "I've always been building back into the season came back from an injury, that last 100m is my strength and to get that back and show what I'm made of, that's terrific."

    The 23-year-old's semi-final will also be on Thursday, when the top eight-ranked athletes join the competition.

    In a tense second set, it came down to the final end with Wales losing 5-4.

    Olympians Jeremiah Azu, Ruby Evans and Matt Richards will be going for Commonwealth Games medals on the fifth day in Glasgow.

    Sprinter Azu will be aiming for 100m glory and swimmer Richards will be hoping for a first Commonwealth individual medal after two relay medals in this Games.

    Gymnast Evans will be going for redemption after finishing a disappointing sixth in the all-round individual final.

    The 19-year-old will compete in the finals of the women's beam and floor, a discipline in which she won a world silver medal in 2025.

    Two bowls teams will aim for a bronze medal in the morning, while Para-swimmer Ela Letton-Jones will aim for another podium position.

    Just a reminder that Wales have won seven medals in Glasgow so far with two silvers and five bronze. Will this be the day they win gold?
