The Full Story
A plain summary built from the channels that reported this story.
West Country athletes won medals in two different sports at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, with success in gymnastics and bowls.
In gymnastics, 17-year-old Shante-Eve Mancwa of Bristol won bronze in the floor exercise at the International Arena. It was her second medal of the Games, after she had been part of the team that won bronze. Competing at her first Commonwealth Games, she said the support had been incredible and that her friends had done well. She added that she wanted to do the same.
Her father, Kevin Mancwa, who plays for Bristol City, said the family was proud. He said she had done well on her first Commonwealth Games at only 17. He also said the first thing he did after she won her first team bronze was to ask for her autograph.
In bowls, Ron Homer from Somerset won silver in the Para Bowls competition. He is Team England's oldest athlete at these Games. Homer said: 'Absolutely amazing. Yeah, it's perfect. I dreamt of this when we started and it's come true. It's unbelievable. Can't believe it. Top of my career, I think.' Asked about Somerset, he said it was a nice place to live.
The gymnastics competition was held at the International Arena, while the bowls competition was taking place at the SEC. More West Country athletes were expected to compete in the athletics that evening, including Ellen Barbour.
