You may have been aware of table tennis player Anna Hursey for some time.

Back in 2018 she made headlines around the world when she was selected by Team Wales for the Commonwealth Games at just 11 years old.

She went to the next Commonwealths in Birmingham as a 16-year-old and won an historic bronze medal alongside Charlotte Carey in the women’s doubles.

Still only 18, Hursey is used to rewriting the history books, and she will do so again this summer as she becomes the first Welsh table tennis player to go to an Olympics.

“I’m really excited,” she said. “I feel this is just the beginning of my career and hopefully I can go to many more Olympics.”

The table tennis competition begins on Saturday, 27 July, when Wales will have an Olympic table tennis player for the first time.
