Team Wales gymnast Francesca Jones has confirmed that she will still retire from the sport despite winning gold with her last performance at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.
The 23-year-old claimed gold with the ribbon after winning silver medals in the hoop, ball and clubs to follow up Friday's individual all-around and Thursday's team success.
When asked if the win would make her reconsider her future, she told reporters: "No, not a chance! I'm happy, I'm done. I'm so proud of the journey that I've done from the beginning until now. Just perfect.
"There's no words for that is there? It's my dream, well, not even a dream that I could have had. It's better than anything. Seriously struggling to find words!
"I just hope that I can carry on with coaching and keep involved with the sport because it's the thing that's closest to my heart."
Jones' team-mate Laura Halford added to her all-around bronze by winning the same colour medal in the ball final.
