Lauren Cox will return to the Commonwealth Games after a successful debut four years ago, where she won two bronze medals in the 4x100m medley and 4x100m mixed medley.

The 24-year-old is a backstroke specialist and has plenty of individual medals to add to her relay successes. 

A bronze medal in the 50m backstroke at the 2023 World Championships in Fukuoka, Japan, was followed two years later by a 100m gold in Lublin, Poland, at the European Championships.

She may have missed out on an Olympic debut in 2024, but with the 50m backstroke announced as a new event at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, Cox has picked herself off the canvas to fight for medals again.
