Wales' Pawlett withdraws from Commonwealth heptathlon
Wales athlete Pawlett pulls out of the Commonwealth heptathlon but still competes in the 200m.
Pawlett Pulls Out of Commonwealth Heptathlon, Keeps 200m Entry
Welsh athlete Pawlett, 22, has withdrawn from the Commonwealth heptathlon, following Katarina Johnson-Thompson's earlier decision to skip the event. Pawlett will still compete in the 200m.
Wales' Heptathlon Contingent Thinned by Two
Johnson-Thompson's and Pawlett's withdrawals leave the heptathlon with a shallower talent pool and reduce Wales' medal options in the combined event. Pawlett's choice to stay on for the 200m points to a shift in priority toward individual sprint performance rather than the seven-discipline challenge.
