Rhys McClenaghan won a gold medal at the Paris Olympics to win a career Grand Slam [Getty Images]
Olympic champion Rhys McClenaghan will lead Northern Ireland's gymnastics medal charge at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
McClenaghan won Commonwealth gold in 2018 in Australia and finished second in Birmingham four years ago.
His gold medal in Paris completed a career Grand Slam, and he heads to Glasgow as one of the favourites to come out on top for a second Commonwealth title.
The 26-year-old had surgery on his shoulder after the Olympics and won his first gold since that injury at a World Cup event in Turkey.
He will be joined in the team by Eamon Montgomery, who finished fifth with his floor routine in Birmingham in 2022 and won a silver medal at the World Cup in Antalya in March.
Ewan McAteer finished sixth in the vault final in the Commonwealths in 2022 and will head to Glasgow for his third Games.
Chester Enriquez, who became Ireland's first-ever gold medallist in the European Youth Olympics Festival, will make his Commonwealth debut in the vault.
