Wales at the 1990 Commonwealth Games


Wales competed at the 1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland, New Zealand, from 24 January – 3 February 1990.
Wales came 6th overall with 10 gold, 3 silver and 12 bronze medals. However, the medal count was somewhat inflated by 12 weightlifting medals won by 6 competitors because of the new system of awarding three medals per weight, in the snatch, clean and jerk and the overall lifts.
