Team England’s Joe Fraser looks set to become one of England’s most successful athletes at the Commonwealth as he goes for gold in the team events, the individual all-around, parallel bars and high bar.

The 2019 Champion also has been given an outside chance of winning golf in the pommel horse after his Olympic Champion team-mate Max Whitlock withdrew.

Fraser, who lives just 30 minutes from where he will be competing over the next couple of weeks, spoke to Sportsmail recently detailing his excitement for the upcoming multi-sport event,

“There is no extra pressure, just extra enjoyment. I’m sure if you asked anyone where they wanted to compete, they would say their home city.

“It will be a proud moment for myself and everyone that has been a part of the journey to get me where I am today. I will give it my all and see what I can achieve.”
