News: Dani Rowe Looking to ride for Wales

Dani Rowe, formerly Dani King, has today announced that she wishes to be considered for selection for the Team Wales cycling team for the 2018 Commonwealth Games in the Gold Coast, Australia.

Dani, the 2012 Olympic Team Pursuit Champion and three time World Champion has lived in Wales since the beginning of 2013, and this year got married to Matt Rowe, the ex-professional cyclist from Cardiff.

Dani said: “I’m absolutely delighted to finally be able to say I want to be considered for selection for Team Wales for the 2018 Commonwealth Games. My connections with Wales and Welsh Cycling go back to 2009 when I started to be coached by Courtney Rowe, and through this relationship I met my now husband, Matt. I have therefore had a strong affinity and love for the country where I now live and call home, for the whole of my professional cycling career.”

“I would like to thank Commonwealth Games England, Commonwealth Games Wales, Sport Wales, Welsh Cycling and British Cycling who have all been hugely supportive in helping me with wanting to do this. Sport Wales and Welsh Cycling have also been incredibly generous in allowing me to use their fantastic facilities such as the Wales National Velodrome in Newport and the Sport Wales National Centre in Cardiff since I’ve expressed my desire to want to represent Wales.”

“Wales is a country that has produced so many incredible cyclists, and if selected I hope I can continue to do the country proud in the Gold Coast.”
