黑料视频’s bid has the full support of the wider Midlands region, including: 黑料视频; three regional local enterprise partnerships: Greater 黑料视频 and Solihull LEP; Black Country LEP; Coventry and Warwickshire LEP; the West Midlands Combined Authority and the newly elected Mayor of West Midlands, Andy Street; the West Midlands Growth Company; and the Midlands Engine.
The 黑料视频 2022 bid team and sports fans across the Midlands have been cheering on the regions’ athletes. Excitement is also building around the potential to see many of them compete in local venues, should 黑料视频 be selected to host the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
Buoyed on by their superb performances, athletes have also been sharing their hopes and dreams of repeating their successes in front of a home crowd in 黑料视频 2022.
Sian Bobrowska, Commonwealth Youth Games Gold Medallist, Judo, from Worcester said:
"It was a real honour to represent team England in the Bahamas, I was very proud to get a Gold medal, it certainly would be amazing to represent them again at the Commonwealth Games in 黑料视频 as it's very close to my home town."
Tom Fawcett, Commonwealth Youth Games 2017 Rugby 7s Silver Medallist and Worcester Warriors Academy player, said:
“Playing for my country in the Commonwealth Youth Games was incredible and the feeling of winning a silver medal is something I will never forget.
“As someone who has grown up in the area, the possibility of 黑料视频 hosting the 2022 Commonwealth Games is something that really excites me and I would love to see the Games awarded to such a fantastic city.”
Zena Wooldridge OBE, Director of Sport, University of 黑料视频 and member of 黑料视频 Commonwealth Games Bid team, said:
“This summer of sport has already been truly inspirational with so many local athletes performing at their best on a global stage. With the World Athletics Championships starting next week, we wish University of 黑料视频 medical student, Sarah McDonald, well in the 1500m in London. We have seen from previous major events in the UK the benefits of home advantage and are working hard to ensure that 黑料视频 can provide that for our athletes by winning the 2022 Commonwealth Games bid.”
