Julie Edge thinks baton relay is also a good experience for future athletes
The Education, Sport & Culture Minister says she's excited to see the Isle of Man competing at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
Julie Edge will be representing the DESC at the games which are taking place in Birmingham from 28 July to 8 August this year.
Today (16 June) she's been part of the second day of the Queen's Baton Relay which is visiting different parts of the Island until tomorrow afternoon (17 June).
Ms Edge says the relay is a good experience for the Island's future athletes as well as those who're already well-established:
