<\/p>\n
“I have very fond memories of the 2014 Commonwealth Games from Glasgow, so I am really excited about lining up in the road race in 2018. Of course being a home games there’s a bit of added pressure, but we are going to have a home crowd cheering us on which is going to be huge,\u201d said Edmondson.<\/p>\n

“It’s a bit of a pinch yourself moment. To think I represented Australia at 20 in Delhi and I’m still racing and still getting stronger and still pulling on the green and gold. I never would have dreamt this growing up,\u201d Hosking, the 2010 Commonwealth Games\u2019 bronze winner, said.<\/p>\n
