Welsh javelin record holder Freya Jones faces a major setback just weeks before the Commonwealth Games after her competition javelins were broken in transit. The 2020 British champion, who set a personal best of 56.53 metres last year, is devastated by the loss of her equipment. Jones, targeting the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, stated the timing could not be worse as she builds towards the Glasgow event on August 1st. 'To have all of my javelins damaged at this point in the season is incredibly tough,' she said, emphasizing the personal and financial impact.

The incident threatens her preparations for the women's final at Scotstoun Stadium.
