The athletes were selected by the Island's CGA.

CGA President Basil Bielich commented: ‘The CGA would like to congratulate all the athletes selected to represent the Isle of Man.

‘Our sporting community has risen to the challenges presented by covid and the restrictions on participation in sport over the last two years, and we believe we have been able to select a very strong team to represent the Island.

‘For these Games, we implemented a new process of selection which was designed to enable athletes to plan their preparation and training programmes with more certainty and confidence.

‘We have also been extremely grateful for the support that Isle of Man Sport has given us. We are working closely together to give our athletes as much support as possible

The 2022 Commonwealth Games will take place in Birmingham in July and August.
