England judo competitor Owen Livesey admits that he wants to win the gold medal in his event at the Commonwealth Games.

Owen Livesey has admitted that he is hoping to come away with gold when the -81kg judo competition gets underway tomorrow.

The 23-year-old Englishman missed out on a place at the London Olympics two years ago, but won the British Championships earlier this year.

He told St Helens Star: My preparation for this has gone really well, with a training camp in Belarus and one in Barcelona. It has gone really great since my return, I had trained really hard in the build up to my comeback but it was still a bit of a shock to win the British Championships on my return.

"All the judo is televised and we have been on the news and it opens doors for sponsorship. If you a win a medal or even better win the gold it presents a great opportunity.

"I am hoping I can win it. I have been training hard for 13 months since I returned and have fought and beat already a few of my opponents who are going to be in the Commonwealth Games, so I am hoping I can beat them again. I have done everything I can do so am now just going out there enjoy it and hopefully it comes good."

Livesey will need to win five fights tomorrow in order to seal the gold.
