@Tanni_GT Good Afternoon, is there anything that Welsh Athetics could do to reconsider the selection policy to allow Hannah Brier to be included in the Welsh Team for the Commonwealth Games after her recent 200m times? I think its a dreadful shame that she will miss out! Thankyou

[Nigel Thomas @Tomtomthomas25]

@JaaGee4 @BBCSportWales Thank you but looking at previous games. In 2022 there were 36 runners from 28 countries. 2 Athletes from Maldives finished in over 26 seconds. In 2018, 38 athletes from 21
Countries. There are times that include over 26 seconds. It doesn’t make sense.

[Nigel Thomas @Tomtomthomas25]

@JaaGee4 @BBCSportWales So explain (not being funny when I ask) No Welsh athlete has gone faster than Hannah. Even if she matches the B standard. This is the ranking for 2026 for Welsh athletes running the 200. If nobody beat the 23.07 then are we not taking any athletes

@Markdouglas64 @FAW_RBLX @HC_Distillery @HelenRhianwen @WebberTJason @NoelMooney13 Congratulations Mark on yet another example of your passion for demonstrating a
Positive impact on the environment 👏

[Nigel Thomas @Tomtomthomas25]

@JaaGee4 @BBCSportWales The minimum standard was 23.07. She achieved that. She surpassed the 100 metre standard last Autumn. Who are the other athletes ? She’s the fastest Welsh 100 metre runner ever. So I guess that means NOBODY

[Nigel Thomas @Tomtomthomas25]

@BBCWalesNews So if they want the B standard time beaten not matched can someone please post a Welsh athlete that during the qualification period achieved faster than Hannah. The times are clearly displayed. She achieved what she was asked. @WelshAthletics tell us who is selected

[Nigel Thomas @Tomtomthomas25]

@NewyddionS4C The 200 metre time of 23.07 was set on Sunday May 17. Before the closing date. 23.07 is the B standard for Commonwealth games. @WelshAthletics looking forward to seeing the athletes that are picked. How do the times compare ?

[Nigel Thomas @Tomtomthomas25]

@BBCSportWales The 200 metre time of 23.07 was set on Sunday May 17. Before the closing date. 23.07 is the B standard for Commonwealth games. @WelshAthletics I won’t be the first to question this. @HannahBrier98 you have conducted yourself with dignity ❤️

[Nigel Thomas @Tomtomthomas25]

@BBCSportWales But the fastest ever welsh Female sprinter HAS NOT BEEN PICKED for Glasgow.
How ? The 100 time was well within the qualification period. This is ridiculous. So who has run faster than Hannah ? Nobody. She had to be selected for the 100.

[Nigel Thomas @Tomtomthomas25]

@NewyddionS4C But she did ! The 100 metre time was set in August 2025. If she didn’t get the time for the 200 metre then who did? Nobody. Who has ever run faster ? Nobody.

Well. COME
ON @HullCity

No words could describe this.

[Nigel Thomas @Tomtomthomas25]

@EmmaOval @OorRoy The great British public didn’t see what Adam did. It was planned by the boys allegedly. Nothing on Tv though.
What if Jimmy had lost his shit and battered the poor boy (if he’d come at me using f’s and c’s that is exactly what would have happened)

[Nigel Thomas @Tomtomthomas25]

@ImACelebUKGoss Correct. It’s about making sure everyone knows that that Adam isn’t the poor downtrodden victim he’s making out.
