    “The Alabama welcome has been great, the facilities are immaculate, and the staff friendly and helpful,” she added.

    Along with the responsibility of her starring role at the opening ceremony, Matheson is set to be featured in the ‘HERstory’ campaign throughout the Games.

    The campaign highlights the success of female athletes and their journey full of ups and downs to Birmingham with Matheson, alongside New Zealand compounders Elizabeth Randle and Lisa Walker.
