Some of my best sporting memories are from the Commonwealth Games, from my silver medal in the 400m in Manchester in 2002 to my 400m hurdles bronze in Melbourne.

I am particularly proud that the next Commonwealth Games will be hosted by my hometown and, although I will no longer be competing, I am really looking forward to joining the people of Scotland in welcoming the Games in 2014.

I think ‘Sport Your Trainers’ is a fantastic way for the country to show its support for Scotland’s Games and, with Glasgow2014 now less than 4 years away, there is a growing sense of excitement and anticipation amongst the athletes preparing to compete.

I’ll definitely be wearing my trainers on March 14th. The people of Scotland are right behind 2014 and I hope they’ll join me in ‘Sporting their Trainers’ on Commonwealth Day.
