Baroness Grey-Thompson said Welsh sportswomen such as Elinor Barker, Jade Jones and Lauren Price had been recognised for their success in other ways.

“I have to say the Welsh Sports Hall of Fame, they’ve been amazing all through of recognising sportswomen, so that’s good,” Baroness Grey-Thompson added.

“It’s just whether we do need this sort of very physical manifestation of something in the way that we used to have. I don’t know the answer.

“I was inducted to the Hall of Fame the same year as Steve Jones.

“And that to me was huge, because it was being recognised by sort of fellow people in sport.

“I’m not sure I would want a statue of myself, to be honest. But I think there’s lots of ways that we can recognise.

“I think we’re pretty good at recognising people who’ve excelled in sport in Wales.

“I’d probably rather the money go into helping another generation of young people.”
