You've heard it in English, now it's time for the version in CYMRAEG 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Hear the roar of the Welsh Dragon as we campaign towards the summer's Games ...

Mae ei hyder yn fy egnïo i ddal fy nhir,
i hongian yn hir a chwyrlïo o far i far,
mae ei chryfder yn fy nghario pan fo’r gweddill
yn gwanhau, mae ei dewrder yn fy nghodi
yn y foment dyngedfennol.

Fi yw’r ddraig
sy’n clecian bowls i’r neilltu,
sy’n dorpîdo drwy’r dŵr,
sy’n chwyrligwganu fy ngwrthwynebwyr ar lawr,
sy’n gadael y dorf mewn syndod
wrth groesi’r llinell, a’i gwres yn fy llenwi.

Dwi wedi goresgyn cymaint,
dwi wedi goroesi ganwaith,
dwi’n consurio’r corff
i gyflawni’r gwyrthiol.

Nid yw’r tanau’n tawelu,
nid yw’r fflamau’n pylu
yn ffwrnes y galon.
O Ynys Gwales i Ynys-Hir,
o Gaersiddi i Gaernarfon,
â’r draig hon
dan ruo’i hiraeth
mewn ffordd na all neb
o wlad arall ei deall.

Mae fy Nghymru yn fy nghymell,
mae fy myd yn fy mharchu;
bu draig darogan yn breuddwydio’n hir
a nawr, dyma’r awr fawr, fy awr fawr i.

Diolch enfawr i Aneirin Karadaog a Huw Euron am eich geiriau ac eich llais i gefnogi ni yn Glasgow.

Da ni'n barod amdana chi @Glasgow_2026

Tour de France Social Impact Stakeholder Day at the Principality Stadium 🚴‍♂️

From a behind the scenes look into the work that goes into bringing the Tour to Wales to powerful sessions on tourism, social impact and sporting legacy, last week’s stakeholder day brought together local authorities, public sector organisations and partners from across Wales to shape what 2027 will mean for our nation. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Workshops focused on real and impactful change - from growing women and girls’ participation in cycling, to building Wales as a world-class cycling destination, to creating lasting impact through the JOY social impact programme, community development and volunteering.

Because this is bigger than an event. It’s about what comes next.

A once-in-a-generation opportunity to:
🚴‍♀️ Get more people riding
🏫 Ensure every child can leave primary school having had the opportunity to learn to ride
🤝 Build stronger, more inclusive cycling communities
🌍 Put Wales on the global cycling map

A massive thanks to everyone that joined us on the day. There's so much more to come - this is just the beginning!

Diolch Loteri Genedlaethol 👏

Behind every athlete, club, and sporting community in Wales is the support of National Lottery players.
The National Lottery provides vital funding to Sport in Wales, which helps develop elite athletes, strengthen grassroots clubs, and improve sporting facilities across the country.

Since 1994, over £356 million has been invested into Welsh sport — and every week, more than £30 million is raised for good causes, including sport in Wales.

If you’ve ever played the National Lottery, you’ve played a part in supporting children, communities, coaches, and athletes across the nation — and there’s a good chance a project near you has benefited from it.
