Tanni Grey\-Thompson is renowned for her achievements as an athlete, and is a multi\-gold medal winner in Paralympic sport. She competed for Wales at five Paralympic Games and three Commonwealth Games, winning 16 medals, including 11 gold medals, and holding over 35 world records.


Born in Cardiff, she started wheelchair racing at the age of twelve, and joined Bridgend Athletic Club at the age of fifteen. She studied at Loughborough University, gaining an honours degree in Politics and Social Administration, and has been an independent cross\-bench member of the House of Lords since 2010\.


Tanni combines a wealth of experience as an elite athlete with personal experiences of working as a development officer and a talent pathway coach.


She is currently the chair of UK Active (until June 2022\), a trustee of the Commonwealth Sports Foundation, and an ambassador for UNICEF.


As Chair of Sport Wales, Tanni will be accountable to the Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport for Sport Wales’ performance and for the delivery of strategic priorities. Developing and maintaining a close relationship with the Deputy Minister and key members of the Welsh Government is a crucial part of the Chair’s role.  


Announcing the appointment, Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport, Dawn Bowden, said:



> “I am delighted to appoint Tanni to this critically important role in Welsh sport. She brings a wealth of experience and many perspectives to the role – not only has she inspired a nation in the competitive arena, but she also has significant ambassadorial and strategic experiences at an international level.
> 
> 
> “As we celebrate the achievements of women on International Women’s Day today, her appointment will bring huge value to sport in Wales. She has been a credible and persuasive voice for youth, for women, and for disabled athletes across many areas of public life, and I look forward to working with her.
> 
> 
> “I’d also like to thank Lawrence Conway for his excellent work as Chair over the past 5 years as he leaves the organisation in great shape following an extremely challenging time.”


Baroness Tanni Grey\-Thompson said:



> “I am both delighted and excited by this chance to support people to become active and to lead healthy lifestyles. I firmly believe that had I not been born and raised in Wales, I would not have experienced the opportunities that came my way.
> 
> 
> “On a personal level, this appointment completes a circle. Sport Wales (and Elite Cymru) was the first board I joined while I was still a competing athlete – it gave me a real insight into how the sports system works from both perspectives. It is a real privilege to be offered this opportunity.”


Baroness Tanni Grey\-Thompson will start in her role on 4 July, taking over from Lawrence Conway who steps down after 5 years in the role.


Lawrence Conway, said:



> “I feel extremely privileged to have led Sport Wales over the last 5 years. I would like to thank in particular the Board and all the staff of Sport Wales who have worked so hard and been so supportive over this time. I believe the organisation is in a very good place right now.
> 
> 
> “But there are always challenges ahead and I cannot think of anyone more suited to lead the organisation in meeting those challenges than Tanni whose record and commitment to sport and physical activity at all levels speak for themselves. I wish her every success.”

Mae Tanni Grey\-Thompson yn enwog am ei llwyddiannau fel athletwr, ac mae'n enillydd mwy nag un medal aur mewn chwaraeon Paralympaidd. Bu'n cystadlu dros Gymru mewn pum Gêm Baralympaidd a thair o Gemau'r Gymanwlad, gan ennill 16 medal, gan gynnwys 11 medal aur, ac mae’n dal dros 35 o recordiau byd.


Fe'i ganwyd yng Nghaerdydd, dechreuodd rasio cadair olwyn yn ddeuddeg oed, ac ymunodd â Chlwb Athletau Pen\-y\-bont ar Ogwr yn bymtheg oed. Astudiodd ym Mhrifysgol Loughborough, gan ennill gradd anrhydedd mewn Gwleidyddiaeth a Gweinyddiaeth Gymdeithasol, ac mae wedi bod yn aelod annibynnol ar draws y fainc yn Nhŷ'r Arglwyddi ers 2010\.


Mae Tanni yn cyfuno profiad helaeth iawn fel athletwr elît gyda phrofiadau personol o weithio fel swyddog datblygu a hyfforddwr llwybr doniau.


Ar hyn o bryd mae'n gadeirydd UK Active (tan fis Mehefin 2022\), yn ymddiriedolwr Sefydliad Chwaraeon y Gymanwlad, ac yn llysgennad UNICEF.


Fel Cadeirydd Chwaraeon Cymru, bydd Tanni yn atebol i Ddirprwy Weinidog y Celfyddydau a Chwaraeon am berfformiad Chwaraeon Cymru ac am gyflawni blaenoriaethau strategol.  Mae datblygu a chynnal perthynas agos â'r Dirprwy Weinidog ac aelodau allweddol o Lywodraeth Cymru yn rhan hanfodol o rôl y Cadeirydd.  


Wrth gyhoeddi'r penodiad, dywedodd Dawn Bowden, Dirprwy Weinidog y Celfyddydau a Chwaraeon:



> "Rwy'n falch iawn o benodi Tanni i'r rôl hollbwysig hon ym maes chwaraeon yng Nghymru. Mae'n dod â chyfoeth o brofiad a llawer o agweddau i'r rôl – nid yn unig y mae wedi ysbrydoli cenedl yn y maes cystadleuol, ond mae ganddi hefyd brofiadau llysgenhadol a strategol sylweddol ar lefel ryngwladol.
> 
> 
> "Wrth inni ddathlu llwyddiannau menywod ar Ddiwrnod Rhyngwladol y Menywod heddiw, bydd ei phenodiad yn dod â gwerth enfawr i chwaraeon yng Nghymru. Mae wedi bod yn llais credadwy a darbwyllol i ieuenctid, i fenywod, ac i athletwyr anabl ar draws sawl maes o fywyd cyhoeddus, ac edrychaf ymlaen at weithio gyda hi.
> 
> 
> "Hoffwn ddiolch hefyd i Lawrence Conway am ei waith rhagorol fel Cadeirydd dros y pum mlynedd diwethaf wrth iddo adael y sefydliad mewn cyflwr da yn dilyn cyfnod heriol dros ben."


Meddai y Farwnes Tanni Grey\-Thompson:



> "Rwyf wrth fy modd ac wedi fy nghyffroi gan y cyfle hwn i gefnogi pobl i fod yn egnïol ac i fyw bywydau iach. Credaf yn gryf, pe na bawn wedi cael fy ngeni a'm magu yng Nghymru, na fyddwn wedi profi'r cyfleoedd a gefais.
> 
> 
> "Ar lefel bersonol, mae'r penodiad hwn yn cwblhau cylch. Chwaraeon Cymru (ac Elite Cymru) oedd y bwrdd cyntaf i mi ymuno ag ef tra oeddwn yn dal i fod yn athletwr oedd yn cystadlu – rhoddodd gipolwg go iawn i mi ar sut mae'r system chwaraeon yn gweithio o'r ddau safbwynt. Mae'n fraint wirioneddol cael cynnig y cyfle hwn."


Bydd y Farwnes Tanni Grey\-Thompson yn dechrau yn ei swydd ar  y 4ydd o Orffennaf, gan gymryd yr awenau oddi wrth Lawrence Conway sy'n camu i lawr ar ôl 5 mlynedd.


Meddai Lawrence Conway:



> "Rwy'n teimlo'n freintiedig iawn o fod wedi arwain Chwaraeon Cymru dros y pum mlynedd diwethaf. Hoffwn ddiolch yn arbennig i'r Bwrdd a holl staff Chwaraeon Cymru sydd wedi gweithio mor galed ac wedi bod mor gefnogol dros y cyfnod hwn. Credaf fod y sefydliad mewn lle da iawn ar hyn o bryd.
> 
> 
> “Ond mae heriau o'n blaenau bob amser ac ni allaf feddwl am unrhyw un sy'n fwy addas i arwain y sefydliad wrth ymateb i'r heriau hynny na Tanni, ac mae ei hanes a'i hymrwymiad i chwaraeon a gweithgarwch corfforol ar bob lefel yn siarad drostynt eu hunain. Dymunaf bob llwyddiant iddi."
