Former Olympic champion Denise Lewis is named as the new president of Commonwealth Games England.

Former Olympic champion Denise Lewis has been named as the new president of Commonwealth Games England.

The retired heptathlete, who won two Commonwealth gold medals during her career, will provide guidance to the organisation, as well as help to develop the next generation of athletes ahead of the 2018 Games in the Gold Coast.

"I am thrilled that I have the chance to work with, and support, England's athletes and help them work towards becoming a Commonwealth medallist," said Lewis. "I have devoted my life to track and field athletics and while that particular sport will always be my passion, it is great to have the opportunity to pass on some of my experience to athletes from a wider range of sports.

"Irrespective of age, background or discipline, Team England's sports men and women are dedicated, train hard and are focused on success. Whatever their sport, they share the same joy in competition and have to cope with the same disappointments of injury or loss of form.

"Having been involved in numerous multi-sport events, I understand what support is needed in order to allow athletes to prepare and compete to the best of their potential."

Lewis will replace Dame Kelly Holmes, who held the role for six years.
