Adam Gives Welsh Olympic Team petition his Backing
People in Carmarthenshire are being urged to back a petition to ensure that a Welsh Olympic team is entered into the 2012 Olympics. Adam Price MP says that the success of Welsh athletes in Beijing, Wales’ most successful games to date, demonstrates there is enough talent in the country to compete at the highest level. The petition can be signed by visiting https://www.assemblywales.org/gethome/e-petitions/P-03-169.
Adam Price MP said:
“Welsh competitors at the Beijing games performed fantastically securing our best medal haul ever. Their success showed that we can compete at the highest level and we came home with better results than countries with far greater populations. Putting forward a Welsh Olympics team will allow our athletes to compete on an Olympic level in the name of Wales.”
Adam added:
“At the recent Olympics supporters were not even allowed to wave the Welsh flag. A Welsh team at the Olympics will allow fresh talent to reach their potential as well as giving our medallists the opportunity to compete in their national colours.”
