It has been quite a week for Evans and Welsh gymnastics in general with drama, disappointment and delight in equal measures.
Evans was part of the Wales women’s team that just missed out on a medal in the team event.
The quintet had been part of the second rotation and led the competition before the final four teams performed.
The television cameras kept panning to the Wales team in the crowd, who could only sit and wait to see if they had won a medal, before they were denied a bronze by England.
Then Evans, alongside Emily Roper, went for individual all-around glory.
Evans was second after two of the four disciplines before she had a terrible beam routine, which included a faltering start and falling off halfway.
That dropped her to seventh and only a miracle on the floor would see her rise back to the top three.
She ended up sixth. It left her distraught and you hoped that would not be the defining image of her Games.
Evans pulled out of the uneven bars on Monday as she rested a shoulder injury.
“I just watched the competition, had some food and chilled and watched the Love Island final,” said Evans.
Evans watched the 20-year-old Roper identical twins providing one of Wales’ stories of Glasgow so far by winning bronze medals within a couple of hours of each other.
Abigail beat Emily to the the third podium position in the vault. Emily brushed aside the disappointment of finishing fourth to return to claim bronze in the uneven bars with the iconic image of her sister cheering her on from the stands.
A first Welsh women’s vault for 32 years, a first bars medal in history. And immense exposure for the 20-year-old twins they never expected, with numerous interview requests for them and their parents from around the world.
