sporting wales issue Eighteen Cover story - Dai Greene
In This Issue:
It is always great to see history in the making - even in the strangest of circumstances. Yet that is what happened as Dai Greene streaked to his gold medal and place in Welsh sporting history in Daegu.
There is a fascinating contrast on our rugby coverage. Sam Warburton, the Wales World Cup captain, snapped up by the rugby academy system at the age of 15 and groomed for stardom, smoothly rising up through the ranks and captaining sides all the way through.
There is the remarkable story of Sue Kent in the sport of sea rowing. Her's is a story that was brought to our attention by one of our readers, so please continue to get in touch with story ideas and feedback

SAM WARBURTON
When Sam Warburton was at school, dreaming of playing for Wales one day, he asked for a copy of the laws of rugby so he could fully understand how to bend the rules to the limit.
DAI GREENE
Before there had been time for his success fully to sink in, Dai Greene had a taste of things to come when Sebastian Coe asked to have his picture taken with the new World Champion.
JOE LEDLEY
You would have thought that playing for his home town club, where he stood on the terraces, would have taught Joe Ledley a thing or two about playing football in a goldfish bowl.
LUKE ROWE
Luke Rowe has his eyes set on the world's biggest cycle races now that he has achieved a lifetime's ambition and joined a Pro Tour team.
UK YOUTH GAMES
The future of Commonwealth sport in Wales is looking bright after an outstanding display of talent saw Wales finish fifth in the medal table at the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games.
