Aled Sion Davies fails to hide his disappointment on missing out on a gold medal in the F42/F44 discus final.

Team Wales captain Aled Sion Davies has admitted that he has been left feeling "devastated" after failing to win gold at the Commonwealth Games.

The Paralympic champion fell short of his personal best with a throw of 46.83m in the F42/F44 discus final to take silver, behind England's Dan Greaves.

"It was a tough one," Davies is quoted as saying by Wales and West. "Coming here, I was aiming for gold and I knew I was capable of winning but I also knew it would be close between me and Dan.

"I managed to take the lead early on but Dan came out and bettered my throw. It was so close and I'm disappointed because I wanted it so much. I've never wanted to win anything more in my life and maybe that turned into a bit of a negative.

"I'm happy with my performance but you always think you could have thrown further. I've been in such good form in the past few years but with the combined with the points it was always going to be tough. I'm devastated and I just hope I haven't let people down."

Gold medal winner Greaves spoke to Sports Mole immediately after the event at Hampden Park.
