Ruby Evans, a Welsh gymnast, has been facing an unexpected side effect of her recent success - being stopped for photos in Tesco supermarkets.
The 18-year-old athlete won the silver medal at the World Championships in Jakarta, Indonesia earlier this month, making history as the first Welsh gymnast to achieve this feat. Her victory was met with widespread acclaim and excitement back home in Cardiff.
However, Evans has revealed that she's been receiving more attention than expected since her win. In an interview, she shared that she's being stopped for photos by shoppers at Tesco supermarkets. The athlete expressed that it can be frustrating to have people approach her for pictures when she just wants to buy some essentials.
Evans believes this newfound fame is taking time to get used to. Despite the challenges, she remains committed to her training and aims to continue performing at a high level.
Her achievement has undoubtedly brought pride to Wales, and Evans' determination to excel in her sport will be watched closely by fans and observers alike.

! i know it can be annoying to have people stop you for pics all the time, but honestly, isn't it cool that she's getting so much love from her fans? and let's be real, shopping at tesco might not be the most glamorous thing, but who cares when u r a silver medalist 
. i'm rooting for her to keep crushing it and making wales proud 
I mean, can you blame her though? One minute she's just an athlete trying to live her best life, and the next she's being mobbed for selfies everywhere she goes... even in Tesco supermarkets 
! It's like, can't a girl just get some bread and milk without being recognized? 
I feel for Ruby, I really do. She's still just 18, and suddenly she's got to deal with this new level of fame. But at the same time, it's awesome that her win is bringing pride to Wales 
... it's all a bit contradictory, but I guess that's just the price of success 
Like what if she just wants to grab some groceries without being recognized? 
she's a proud welsh athlete and we should all be rootin' for her 
️
but everyone wants a selfie with the silver medalist! 
Tesco supermarkets are supposed to be for shopping not photo ops. I hope she gets used to it soon though, and maybe even starts enjoying the extra attention. 
It's awesome that she's staying focused on her training despite all the fuss. Wales is really proud of her, and rightly so! 
, I can imagine how frustrating it must be for Ruby to get stopped for photos everywhere she goes! Like, isn't she just trying to grab some milk and eggs like everyone else? Interesting that she's still committed to her training though - that takes a lot of guts!
and I love how down-to-earth she seems too 
. She's def a role model for young athletes everywhere and I'm excited to see what's next for her!!! 
? I mean, I get it, Ruby Evans just won the silver medal at World Championships and she's a total rockstar in Wales, but come on! Can't people just leave her alone to shop in peace?! 
. And I'm sure it can get pretty frustrating when you're trying to enjoy the simple things in life and everyone's all starry-eyed about your success 
. Anyway, good on her for staying focused on training and crushing it in her sport – that's what matters! 
But can u imagine having to stop for pics in Tesco supermarket tho?! 
I feel so bad for this girl! She's just trying to live her life after winning that big medal, and now she can't even go shopping without being mobbed by people wanting her pic 
Can't we just let her be for once without making a big fuss about every little thing she does? 
.
it's like she's still a normal person but with all the attention she's getting from winning that world championship
