Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. 'Shock result' is perhaps an overused term in sport. In reality, instances of teams overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds are relatively rare. The USSR's Olympic victory over the USA basketball team in 1972 is a controversial example. Leicester City winning the premiership title is a testament to how, in sport, teamwork can make the most unlikely outcomes a reality. So, it is quite amazing that a sporting feat has been achieved by a Welsh team, but very few people seem to know about it.

Last year, a newly formed Welsh cheerleading team went to the USA and beat them in their own backyard at their own game to bring home gold for Wales. Coached by volunteers, comprising young, disabled and non-disabled athletes, and based in Treforest in my constituency, Team Wales ParaCheer are arguably our best-kept sporting secret. 

On Saturday, the team fly out to the USA to defend their title, and it was fantastic to have the team visit the Senedd last month to preview their routine, as shown on the screens. You could not wish to meet a more impressive group of young people. They're not just great athletes; they are superb ambassadors for sport and for Wales. 

Although ParaCheer has been provisionally listed by the International Olympic Committee as a sport, it does not attract much media attention. That's why the team were so thrilled to be wished 'pob lwc' by sports Minister, Dafydd Elis-Thomas, yesterday. It meant a great deal to the team to be recognised in this way, and I'm sure that, today, we will go a step further and send the team our best wishes from the whole National Assembly for Wales for the coming world championships.
