Overview
- Identical twins Abigail and Emily Roper each took a Commonwealth Games bronze in gymnastics for Wales on the same day in Glasgow.
- Abigail won bronze in the women's vault with a score of 13.433, becoming Wales's first vault medallist at the Games in 32 years.
- Emily finished fourth in the vault before recovering hours later to claim bronze on the uneven bars, the first Commonwealth bars medal ever for Wales.
- The sisters grew up in Ipswich and trained together at Pipers Vale Gymnastics Centre while studying Sports and Exercise Science at the University of Essex and competing internationally.
- Their double podium provided Wales with its first gymnastics medals at Glasgow 2026 and is likely to raise the profile of Welsh gymnastics and help the sisters' careers move forward.
