Fifteen-year-old weightlifter "proud" to represent England at Commonwealth Games

Fifteen-year-old weightlifter Rebekah Tiler says that she will take great pride in representing Team England at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Team England weightlifting competitor Rebekah Tiler has declared that she takes great pride in representing her country at the age of just 15.

The youngster, who is taking part in her first Commonwealth Games, will compete in the 69kg weight discipline in Glasgow.

"Coming to Glasgow 2014 I have felt very welcomed, the Athletes' Village is really nice and the facilities are great – and the food is alright, so it's just like being at home," Tiler said.

"Obviously being just 15 this is my first multi-sport event and first Commonwealth Games, it's great being in with all the athletes from other sports and makes me feel proud of myself to be a part of this huge event."

Tiler became the youngest weightlifter to win a senior women's British title earlier this year.
