Aled Sion Davies prepares for Commonwealth Games discus event in Glasgow
Summary

Aled Sion Davies is set to compete in the F42-44/F61-64 discus throw at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow this summer. The 35-year-old athlete, a three-time Paralympic gold medallist, has shifted focus back to discus after prioritizing shot put. Training in Adelaide, Australia, has revitalized his passion for the event following a surgery to treat osteitis pubis. While he has high expectations from the public, Davies admits uncertainty about his performance due to changes in his technique. He acknowledges this may be his last time competing in the Commonwealth Games for discus but aims for gold in shot put at the 2028 Paralympics in Los Angeles.
