The 19-year-old performed well in the final routine of the women's programme, with silver for England's Abigail Martin, whose team-mate Shantae-Eve Amankwaah took bronze. Evans left the arena in tears on Sunday after her disappointing sixth in the all-round individual competition, coming after Wales finished fourth in the team event. Now, after Welsh identical twins Abigail and Emily Roper won bronze medals within a couple of hours of each other on Monday, Evans has delivered gold. It was the first victory for Team Wales in Scotland and a ninth medal alongside two silver and six bronze. There is also a guaranteed podium position for boxer Connor Williams after he reached the semi-finals.
