Gymnast Evans delivers first gold for Wales

"I probably couldn't be happier," said Evans."I couldn't have done any more on that floor and I knew whatever the result was after, I couldn't have done any better."'I am just happy that it is a gold."Evans admitted she had been almost angry when she had gone out to compete today, following the disappointment of earlier performances in Glasgow."I feel like the first day we came here, I did really well and I got through to the all-around final," said Evans."That didn't go to plan and it was a very silly mistake, so I was really angry with that. "So I knew when I came out here, I know I needed to do something for my country and that was the floor routine."The Welsh national anthem was played for the first time in Glasgow during these Games with Evans at the top of the podium."I was really excited to hear the national anthem," said Evans."When something like that plays in your brain, you think 'my god i'd love that to happen.' To see the dragon on the flag."I was so excited because I am so passionately Welsh."Evans outlined how she would celebrate before she leaves Glasgow tomorrow."I will be just seeing family, maybe go for some food," said Evans."I think there's tenpin bowling in Team Wales house. I think they want to do all that."
