The Cayman Islands recorded its best ever result at a Commonwealth Games in Delhi in 2010 when Cydonie Mothersill-Stephens won the nation's first ever gold medal, in the 200 metres. 

The medal was one of just two won by the British overseas territory, following a bronze at Manchester in 2002, claimed by Kareem Streete-Thompson in the long jump.

The delegation travelling to Glasgow for this year's Games, which is due to begin on July 23, is led by a 10-strong athletics team, with swimming and squash also being heavily represented with six members apiece.
