The Wales women's relay team qualified third fastest for the 4x100m freestyle final set for Friday night at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. This comes after earlier performances in the pool, including a notable individual feat from Joshua Inglis, who qualified for the men's 100m breaststroke semi-finals with a time of 1:02:23. The men's relay team faced disqualification after Tyler Melbourne-Smith left the block early during their heat, missing out on a medal chance. The addition of promising teenager Theodora Taylor is expected to strengthen the women's team's lineup as they pursue a medal.
