CONTENTS


I am honoured and privileged to have served as Commonwealth Games Scotland (CGS) Chairman since

November 2007.

In particular, I am so proud of our Team Scotland athletes, who collectively inspired the nation over all 11 days of competition at Glasgow 2014; who gave us many moments to remember and treasure forever, and who delivered the best medal performance by any Scottish team at a Commonwealth Games. 53 medals was an extraordinary performance from an outstanding team.

The exceptional job done by our General Team Management and CGS staff team in the build-up to Glasgow 2014, joined by numerous committed volunteers at Games time, ensured that the needs of the athletes were always the first priority. From team selections to the team camp, then the preparation camp and finally at the Games Village, everything was geared to helping our athletes perform at their best – and perform they did!

The success of Glasgow 2014 was the culmination of 12 years of planning by CGS. It was just after the Manchester 2002 Games that CGS, in partnership with the Scottish Executive, decided that Scotland should launch a bid for the 2014 Games. We were awarded the 2014 Games on 9 November 2007 and, as the old saying goes, the rest is history...

And what a history has now been written about Glasgow 2014. All of us involved - and it has been a massive team effort over many years, can be rightly proud to have been part of delivering the best Commonwealth Games ever.

I would like to pay tribute to everyone involved with Glasgow 2014 – the Board, the workforce, contractors and, of course, the Clydesiders, for their hard work and commitment, which led to the delivery of such an incredible experience for the teams of the 71 nations and territories, as well as the spectators who filled the venues and made their own huge contribution to the success of the Games.

Building public support for the Games and for Team Scotland was vital and the 40 days of the Queen’s Baton Relay (QBR) in Scotland, hosted by CGS, visiting all 32 local authorities, involving 4000 batonbearers and providing many opportunities to celebrate and promote sport. The incredible response to the QBR as it journeyed across Scotland gave us an early indication of what we could actually expect during the Games.

CGS also developed and maintained strong relationships with key partners, who were with us every step of the way, on the long Glasgow 2014 journey.

The Scottish Government has provided great support to CGS in the last 12 years, particularly in ensuring that Glasgow 2014 stayed true to our bid commitments and also to ensure that an ‘athlete centred Games’ was never allowed to become just a slogan.

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 2011 – 2015


Glasgow City Council, since we selected Glasgow as our host city, was fully committed to making Glasgow 2014 the success that it undoubtedly became.

All closely involved in the planning knew that Glasgow 2014 would be a great event, but the way the city and its citizens took the Games to its heart was a big part of what made it the best ever.

My second and final term as Chairman ends at the AGM on 28 May 2015 and I want to thank all of the CGS Board directors and advisers who have served during that time, and also our member sports, for the support that I have received since 2007.

It has been a privilege, not just to serve as CGS Chairman, but to have had the good fortune to lead this great sporting family at such an exciting and successful time in our history.

Michael CavanaghChairman, Commonwealth Games Scotland

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 2011 – 2015


T his report summarises achievements, activities and observations relating to the Commonwealth Games

Scotland strategic plan and operations over the last four years and as we move forwards into the next Games cycle.

OverviewThis period involved the culmination of 12 years of planning with the delivery of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, the most successful ever in the history of the Games movement and of CGS. The post-Games period has also seen reorganisation and change within our many partner agencies as we turn our attention to the next quadrennial and specifically the 2015 Samoa Commonwealth Youth Games, 2017 St Lucia Commonwealth Youth Games and the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games.

The organisational and operational requirements of the Glasgow 2014 Games have now been completed with the role of CGS as host CGA and lead partner. Efforts are now focused on ensuring that the legacy programmes for sport and the wider community continue to be delivered.

CGS and many member sports have completed post Glasgow 2014 reviews and have accelerated planning for Samoa 2015 and beyond. Election of our new Board and subsequent appointments will see the development of a new strategic plan taking us past Gold Coast 2018.

The next Games period will also see a new direction for the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) with the new CEO, David Grevemberg, taking up this post after performing a similar role with Glasgow 2014. His first General Assembly in September 2015 will see the conclusion

of the CGF Sports Review, election of a new CGF Board and selection of the host for the 2022 Commonwealth Games.

In the wider environment over the last four year period we have had the Scottish Referendum in late 2014, a UK Parliamentary election in 2015, with the forthcoming 2016 Scottish Parliament Election also shaping our immediate future.

Following the successful London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics, planning for the Rio 2016 cycle is now the focus of many member sports, Team Scotland athletes and staff.

Activity and Achievements In summary:

Team Preparation and OrganisationIsle of Man Youth Games 2011 and Samoa Youth Games 2015

• The CGS Glasgow review reported back at the start of 2015, with member sports’ workshops to discuss recommendations for Gold Coast 2018.

• Two site visits to the Gold Coast took place in October 2014 and March 2015

to develop working relationships with Gold Coast 2018 organisers and assess preparations to assist our future planning.

Administration• CGS staff stands at four at the end of

the Quadrennial with CEO Jon Doig, General Team Operations Manager, Elinor Middlemiss, Office Manager Adrienne Sunderland and Games Administrator,



Catherine Goodfellow. In mid-2011, Elinor replaced Vicky Strange who left for a role with Glasgow 2014. Social Media Manager, James Saker provided support in this developing area from April 2013 until shortly after the Games. He was replaced by Gillian Cooke. During this period, Adrienne Sunderland has concluded her part-time secondment to sportscotland where she worked on the successful Pre-Games Training and Support a Second Team programmes.

• The required number of Executive Board meetings were held during this period on a monthly or bi-monthly basis, with daily meetings also taking place during the Games. All Board minutes have continued to be posted on the CGS website.

• All Company statutory returns were made as required in accordance with our company status, along with those for the Scottish Commonwealth Games Youth Trust, for which we provide administrative support.

• A new Strategic Plan has been drafted along with a Business Plan and a review of Financial Principles. An Operational Audit, Self-Assessment Audit and HR Health check were also concluded during this period.

• Non-executive Directors Paul Bush, Peter Nicolson, Jane Gotts and Leigh Robinson were appointed by the incoming Board, along with Susan Jackson as Athletes’ representative. Joan Watt and Carolyn Morgan were appointed Honorary Medical Adviser and Honorary Legal Adviser respectively.

• Mid-term elections were held for Ordinary Directors, with Jackie Davidson re-elected and Margaret Ann Fleming replacing Leslie Roy.

• Chairman Michael Cavanagh and Finance Director Peter Nicolson acted as CGS representatives to the Scottish Commonwealth Games Endowment Fund.

Partnerships• CGS continued to work closely with

sportscotland, particularly on the Mission 2014 programme and through the joint Glasgow 2014 planning group, chaired by CGS. A similar planning process has been put in place for Gold Coast 2018.

• CGS continues to play an active part at different levels of the Commonwealth Games Federation, with Louise Martin as CGF Honorary Secretary. As host CGA there was a close working relationship and ongoing contact with the CGF in relation to Glasgow 2014 Ltd. CGS has been represented at each annual General Assembly and the CGF EGM held in 2014, along with associated European CGA group meetings. During the past four years support has been received from CGF via two staff, Colin Whitmee and Ellen Barwise who provided a pan-European CGA support role based from CGS.

• Already strong working relationships at Scottish Government level developed further over this period, particularly in relation to the planning and delivery of the Games. This was through the Glasgow 2014 Strategic Group, Working Group and a range of other sub-committees There was also regular engagement at Games related activities with the First Minister, Cabinet Secretary for Sport and key officials. The Scottish Parliament Cross Party Group on Sport was also addressed on a number of occasions by Jon Doig and Michael Cavanagh on CGS activities.



• Scotland House was managed by Eventscotland on behalf of CGS and other partners, as part of a successful partnership of seven public agencies. This was led by Paul Bush, as Director of Scotland House. Located within it was an Athletes Family and Friends Lounge, managed by Guy Richardson and a support team of volunteers, all ensuring athletes could meet their families in a safe supportive environment during the Games.

• At local authority level a strong partnership continued with Glasgow City Council and Glasgow Life in the context of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. We also enjoyed a good working relationship with many other local authorities, developed through the Queen’s Baton Relay and other activities.

• Adrienne Sunderland, through her part-time secondment to sportscotland, was involved in liaising with CGAs and National Olympic Committees to arrange and deliver pre-Games training camps in Scotland linked to local authorities and higher education institutions. 16 countries had formal training bases in Scotland, with other individual athletes also basing themselves here.

• CGS supported Commonwealth Championships and invitational events in Lawn Bowls, Water Polo, Rowing, Fencing, Table Tennis, Weightlifting and Wrestling as part of our governing body support programme. This enabled sports to attend or host such events, utilising our Glasgow 2014 Joint Marketing funding.

• 25 athletes won Sports Aid linked scholarship funding from SSE, based on the number of followers gained from following our hashtag #GoScotland during the Glasgow Games.

Policies and Procedures

• Equality and Ethics statements were reviewed and adopted.

• A review of the Memorandum and Articles was conducted, with changes made to the Board structure in advance of the 2015 elections in relation to the voting status of the Athletes’ Representative.

• Policies for the 2014 Games, in areas such as anti-doping, team structure, clothing, flag bearer selection and team member agreements were all reviewed, and where appropriate, changes made and implemented for the Games. An incident management plan was developed for Glasgow with assistance from Police Scotland.

• A discussion paper on 2018 Selection Standards has been developed, distributed and discussed at a workshop. Based on these discussions a draft policy will be produced for completion after the 2015 General Assembly.

• All data held for the 2014 Games has now been reviewed and any non-essential information removed, in accordance with Data Protection requirements.

• The CGF has continued their current review of the sports programme. This will be completed at the 2105 General Assembly.

Marketing and Communication• Through Sporting Initiatives, our contracted

support agency, led by Katriona Bush, a comprehensive media and communications plan for 2014 Games was developed and delivered. This used a ‘Go Scotland!’ theme and photographic hero images of athletes across all 17 sports were taken



at Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery for phase one and at iconic sites across Scotland in phase two. In addition to them being used for media and PR purposes, the images formed the basis for Games time branding in the village, for team publications and presentations, on the goscotland.org website and at Scotland House. This enabled us to innovatively promote and communicate key messages about Team Scotland, CGS and partners. This campaign also supported the athletes and staff to deal with, what was for many, their first major exposure to the media.

• A large number of the team staff and athletes benefited from tailored media training, supported by sportscotland. Extensive media and sponsor related activity took place involving athletes and staff with sports specific and final team announcements, activity around the Team Camp and Baton relay and pre-Games training camp activity, generating significant media coverage. A comprehensive programme of Games time activity took place on a daily basis with broadcast, print and social media. This continued post-Games, with CGS managing ongoing media requests (linking with SGBs) and the management of the post-Games Athletes’ Parade in Glasgow.

• A Youth Team Scotland Samoa 2015 logo was developed based around our CGS Thistle, and elements of the Samoa 2015 logo and fonts. This will be used as Team related activity gets underway. Contact with Gold Coast 2018 has been made requesting use of their logo and wordmark elements.

• Publications released included a number of Countdown newsletters (hard copy and online). One issue served as a 2011 Youth Games Team Guide. A

comprehensive 2014 Team Scotland Media Guide was also produced. CGS stationery continues to be updated as required, to reflect future Games.

• The CGS website was reviewed, re-designed and re-launched. It continues to be our major communication tool, complemented by the Go Scotland website aimed at team supporters and complemented by our extensive social media programme.

• The Zeus Games information system is now managed directly by the CGF and major users include CGS. It was re-developed for those countries using it for the London Olympic Games and our site was also re-developed by Colin Whitmee and Ellen Barwise as part of the CGF Capacity Support Programme.

• The Games saw extensive use of social media as a key communication tool, with CGS/Team Scotland being the most followed CGA now with 60,000 Twitter followers and nearly 30,000 Facebook followers. Our GoScotland.org site had 100,000 visits during the Games with 675,000 page views.



Projects and Activities• The major pre-Games activity was the

Queen’s Baton Relay hosted by CGS in conjunction with the 32 local authorities over 40 days in June and July 2014. CGS Board members chaired local authority Baton Bearer selections and attended and spoke on behalf of CGS at all evening functions. 200 past, current, potential team members and CGS nominees carried the Baton, amongst the 4000 Baton bearers. Team Scotland hosted the Baton in the Village on its final day and ensured that Fiji, who missed the visit of the Baton, were able to receive it, thus ensuring all 71 nations and territories were involved.

• A number of activities took place during Games time at Scotland House including the Team Flag Bearer announcement, and memorabilia display based on CGS Archives. We also contributed to and co-hosted with sportscotland a Scottish Sporting Trophies exhibition to which we brought the Queen’s Baton as its last public engagement prior to the Opening Ceremony.

• There were two significant donations of materials to the CGS Archive from CGS Patron Sir Peter Heatly and Life Member Douglas Brown.

• A further exhibition was developed by the University of Stirling (who curate the CGS Archive) which was also presented at Scotland House, titled ‘Hosts and Champions: Scotland in the Commonwealth Games’. Following the Games it has been redeveloped and commenced a nationwide tour in March 2015 that will continue in 2015/2016 in a number of local authorities.

• The 2014 edition of Achieve operated with the support of sponsors Search

Consultancy to enable young athletes and coaches from 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018 Games programme sports to attend the Games to develop Games time knowledge and experience in a mentor led programme.

• Under the co-ordination of our Athletes’ Representative, Susan Jackson, a group of prominent Scottish athletes including past athletes were identified and engaged as part of our Athletes First group and contributed to the Team Camp and wider Games time support of the team and other support programmes and events.

• The CGS Annual Awards Dinners have taken place every year, with the 2014 Dinner the biggest and most successful yet, with over 700 attendees celebrating the success of the Games and specifically Team Scotland. This followed an enormously popular Team Scotland Athletes’ Parade organised by CGS, sportscotland and Glasgow Life with financial support from sportscotland and Glasgow City Council. The streets of Glasgow and George Square were packed to recognise the team’s outstanding achievements.

• Award winners for the Emirates Lonsdale Trophy for Scottish Sports Person of the Year over the last four years are as follows:

• Since the Games, CGS has arranged representation by Board, staff and athletes at a number of events to celebrate the Games success, including functions at the Scottish Parliament, Downing Street and at the Ryder Cup.

• Numerous awards have been made to Team Scotland and individuals since the Glasgow 2014 Games including the sportscotland Sunday Mail Team of the Year, sponsored by Emirates which followed a similar Award in 2011 made to the Commonwealth Youth Games Team. Each Team Scotland medallist has also had the opportunity to place a permanent commemorative bicycle rack in a location of their choosing to acknowledge their success, as part of the Government’s legacy initiative.

• CGS and individual athletes have contributed items to permanent collections and temporary displays in galleries and museums across the country following the 2014 Games.

• In the 2015 New Year Honours an MBE was awarded to Team Scotland flag bearer Euan Burton and an OBE was awarded to CGS CEO and Team Scotland Chef de Mission, Jon Doig, for services to sport. A number of Honours were also awarded to Team Scotland athletes in 2012 following their Olympic and Paralympic success.

Planning, Research and Reporting• The Delhi 2010 Review was completed

in early 2011 and recommendations incorporated were incorporated into Glasgow 2014 planning.

• The Glasgow 2014 Games Review was completed in early 2015 and following a workshop recommendations will be incorporated into 2018 planning.

• CGS were represented by Jon Doig at the CGF Glasgow 2014 Review meeting held in the Gold Coast in October 2018, to assist the transfer of knowledge to Gold Coast 2018.

• Jon Doig was on the Audit Scotland Advisory group on the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. Audit Scotland delivered three reports, with the final report in March 2015.

Glasgow 2014 Ltd• Michael Cavanagh and Louise Martin

continued as our two permanent Directors, on the Glasgow 2014 Ltd. Board, along with Rhona Simpson as Athletes’ Representative, until October 2014. At this time the size of the Board was reduced to one representative per partner with CGS represented by Michael Cavanagh until the company was formally wound up in February 2015.

• We were represented on the Glasgow 2014 Athletes’ Advisory Group by a number of former athletes plus our CGS Board Athletes’ Representative, Susan Jackson, with Jon Doig also attending in an ex-officio capacity.



• Michael Cavanagh, as Chairman, represented CGS at the First Minister’s Strategic Planning Group of Games partners (Scottish Government, Glasgow 2014 Ltd and Glasgow City Council), which met every two months to review progress, with Jon Doig also representing CGS on the Games Executive Committee, which replaced the Working Group of lead officers from the partners and Glasgow 2014.

• Michael Cavanagh Chaired the Glasgow 2014 Sport Advisory Group with Jon Doig and Elinor Middlemiss attending, giving CGS a powerful voice on behalf of our member in matters regarding sports planning. A number of meetings jointly hosted by CGS and Glasgow 2014 were held for the 17 Games sports.

• Peter Nicolson and Jon Doig were CGS representatives on the Glasgow 2014 Joint Marketing Committee.

• Jon Doig and Katriona Bush were representatives on the Glasgow 2014 Media and Communication Advisory Groups.

• Louise Martin and Jon Doig were representatives on the Glasgow 2014 Ceremonies, Culture and Queen’s Baton Relay Groups.

• Maureen Campbell and Jon Doig were representatives on the Glasgow 2014 Queen’s Baton Relay Advisory Groups.

• Peter Nicolson represented CGS on the Games Budget Oversight Group and attended the Games Executive Committee daily over the Games period.

• Through these and other groups, input was given to the development and review of the Glasgow 2014 sport programme, baton, medal and uniform along with

business, marketing and communication plan development and reporting and risk register monitoring. CGS attention was focused on key areas of sport, village, marketing and communications, ceremonies and Queen’s Baton Relay and games family services.

• CGS selected individuals for a number of Opening Ceremony roles such as final baton bearers comprising of athletes involved in the Bid along with some Achieve 2014 coaches and final baton bearer Sir Chris Hoy. Graeme Randall MBE was the Europe representative bringing in the CGF Flag and Libby Clegg, Mikail Huggins, Donald McIntosh and Victor Keelan were nominated by CGS as Athletes’, Coaches and Officials oath takers respectively.

• The focus post -Games has been on dissolution of Glasgow 2014 and distribution of its assets. CGS played a central role, along with sportscotland, in ensuring that a number of the sport related assets in particular were distributed between national governing bodies, local authorities and clubs across Scotland. This included sporting equipment and computer technology. Glasgow 2014 trademark and wordmark assets held by the CGF will now be managed on their behalf by CGS.

• CGS received the Baton from the Queen’s Baton Relay and a full set of medals, medal presentation board and medal podium which have been used at post Games presentations.

• Input is being made on an ongoing basis to the Scottish Government’s Games Legacy programme planning with representation on the Games Legacy Executive Board by Peter Nicolson.



ConclusionOverall the 2011-2014 period can again only be described as the busiest and most successful ever, with sport and the importance of the Games centre stage particularly in 2014, delivering outcomes beyond sport and raising the national and international profile of Scotland. Scotland again has led and delivered, with Glasgow 2014 acknowledged as the best ever Commonwealth Games.

The Games made a huge impact across Scotland and beyond and transformed Scottish sport and the Glasgow landscape, particularly in the East End, fulfilling the ambitions of CGS and our members when we first investigated holding the Games in 2002 and as promised to fellow CGAs in 2007.

We have an excellent base on which to prepare for and deliver at the 2015 and 2017 Youth Games and the 2018 Games and beyond. There will continue to be challenges ahead as we look to meet expectations on CGS, member sports and partner organisations, but we will continue to work hard in partnership to ensure we obtain maximum benefit from hosting these Games for the long-term.

I would like to finish by once more acknowledging the many different individuals and organisations with and for whom, we work.

First, the 2011 and 2014 Team Scotland members and support staff for their commitment and hard work delivering such outstanding results. They along with the team behind the team in sportscotland and the governing bodies have ensured

Team Scotland was not only successful, but continues to be an inspiration and credit to our country.

I would also like to thank the staff, Games volunteers and partner organisations involved with Glasgow 2014 who gave us the fantastic platform on which Team Scotland delivered so spectacularly. Your efforts will always be appreciated!

Finally, I would like to thank all those members of the Board for their hard work and support over the last four years and pay special tribute to Michael Cavanagh and Fiona McEwan, both reaching the end of their second terms as Chairman and Vice Chairman. Glasgow 2014 in particular has placed considerable additional workload on all Board members and staff and their commitment to meeting those demands was often not seen.

The support of Michael and Fiona to me and the staff, is particularly appreciated and acknowledged. They have truly put in many, many hours behind the scenes and in front! Finally I would also join many others in recognising the role and input and debt owed to Louise Martin CBE, who is standing down from the CGS Board after 20 years as Director, Chairman and Immediate Past Chairman.

Jon Doig OBE

Chief Executive, Commonwealth Games Scotland

• Support for the 2011 and 2014 Team Scotland preparations was received from the Scottish Commonwealth Games Endowment Fund. This Fund still retains its original capital, despite providing over £1.2 million to support Team Scotland over three Games cycles.

• The quadrennial deficit of circa £0.5m must be viewed in the context of the £1.7m surplus in the previous quadrennium.

• Financial operations have been managed by the CGS office through the Office Manager and the Chief Executive, in line with our financial procedures manual. This is overseen by the Director of Finance, who also directs CGS long term investments with our investment managers.

• Games time financial procedures were reviewed and implemented for both the 2011 and 2014 Games.

• Due to impending regulatory pension changes, CGS introduced a new staff pension scheme in January 2014, in advance of our deadline date in 2016.

• In order to secure access to Glasgow 2014 ticketing for member sports, athletes’ families and friends, CGS accepted extensive operational and

financial activities in this area, with over £550,000 in orders being sourced, placed and re-invoiced. Thanks to Adrienne Sunderland for her sterling efforts in this regard.

• CGS Marketing Rights were held with Glasgow 2014 from 1 January 2011 until 31 December 2014 in return for a Joint Marketing payment, the last instalment being received in 2012.

• All Glasgow 2014 partners and sponsors were offered CGS and Team Scotland rights as part of this agreement. Additional CGS sponsorship activation support was obtained from:

– A.G. Barr, for a Games time medallist recognition programme, Go Scotland campaign partner, and soft drink/water supplies at Preparation Camp and Scotland House

– Search Consultancy, for the Achieve 2014 programme

– SSE, for additional Games tickets for Team Scotland athletes

– Virgin Media, for WiFi provision at Scotland House

– Emirates Airlines, for the CGS Annual Dinner and Lonsdale Trophy

– The Edrington Group, for whisky supplies for Scotland House and Awards Dinner

FINANCE REPORT


– Heineken, for beer/cider supplies for Scotland House and Awards Dinner.

• CGS also facilitated a number of Glasgow 2014 sponsors to support individual athletes financially and recommended a number of athletes to act as Glasgow 2014 Ambassadors.

• Full financial audits were undertaken in both 2011 and 2014, each achieving unqualified audit reports - we believe this reflects well on the accountancy and VAT expert support CGS has received from Gill Roberts and David Graham over this period.

• The Medallist Reward Scheme for Glasgow 2014 medallists was approved to the budgeted limit of £300,000 at end of 2014, based on a drawdown from CGS Glasgow 2014 marketing payments.

Since 31/12/2014, the full £382,500 Medallist Reward Scheme has now been approved, supplemented by other sources, and CGI, the world’s fifth largest independent IT services company, has also come on board as a CGS sponsor.

Looking forward, the next three-Games quadrennium offer some financial challenges to CGS, but with continued support from our key funding sources, a renewed marketing/fundraising effort linked to strong relationships developed via Glasgow 2014, continued cost control and sound investment management, I believe CGS is in a good financial position to deliver outstanding support to Team Scotland in the future.

Withdrawals following selection (3)Athletics – Allan SmithJudo – James AustinRugby 7s – Tommy Seymour


A fter years of planning by Commonwealth Games Scotland and all the key partners in Scottish sport, the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games saw

a truly memorable and successful 11 days of competition in front of packed, world-class venues, with the home crowd roaring Team Scotland on to their best performance ever.

Following a magnificent build-up to the Games, Team Scotland fielded its largest team ever, with 310 athletes meeting the selection standards for the Games. The athletes then chose multiple World and European medal-winning judoka, Euan Burton, to carry the Scottish Flag and lead them into the Opening Ceremony of the XX Commonwealth Games at Celtic Park on 23 July, to the rapturous applause of the crowd. In an amazing spectacle, everyone enjoyed a night of excitement and pride, setting the tone for the 11 days of world-class competition that were to follow.

Para-Sport sprinter Libby Clegg and guide Mikhail Huggins took the oath on behalf of the athletes of the Commonwealth, Shooting Team Manager, Donald McIntosh represented the officials, whilst Judo Team Manager and Commonwealth Games Gold medallist Graeme Randall accompanied the Commonwealth Games Federation flag into the stadium. It was then the turn of the legendary Sir Chris Hoy, Scotland’s greatest ever Olympian, who had the honour of being the last baton bearer to present the baton to Her Majesty the Queen at the end of its incredible journey across the Commonwealth.

Across the 17 sports, Scottish competitors gave it their all, with 10 sports and four out of five Para-Sports contributing to the medal tally. This was backed up by many other outstanding individual and team performances, with new personal bests, Scottish and Games records set.

A record haul of 53 medals, 19 gold, 15 silver and 19 bronze to finish fourth on the medal table, was just reward for the huge team effort that made the whole of Scotland proud.

Team Scotland certainly lived up to its billing of 17 Sports – One Team!

Expressing his delight, Team Scotland Chef de Mission, Jon Doig said: “When we started the planning process for Glasgow, our aim was to select our biggest ever team meeting the standards and to have our most successful Games ever delivering more than 33 medals and 11 Gold. We have well and truly smashed these targets and I would like to pay tribute to all the athletes and staff for contributing to this overall Team success of 53 medals - a figure above even my stretch targets.

“Thanks to the support of all the governing bodies of sport and sportscotland, this was undoubtedly our best ever prepared team ever, with all sports contributing to our ‘17 sports - one team’ ethos.

“Glasgow 2014 organised a fabulous Commonwealth Games and provided the perfect stage for our athletes to perform on, spurred on by the incredible support of the Scottish public. These Games will live long in the memory for all of us.”

2014 GAMES OVERVIEW

AQUATICS


AQUATICS

T eam Scotland sent its largest aquatics team ever to Glasgow 2014, with 38 swimmers, including two Para-Sport swimmers and two divers selected,

following their nomination by Scottish Swimming. Only 12 athletes had competed in the Games before, with five of them medallists.

The action at the Tollcross International Swimming Centre got underway on day one of the Games and, from the outset, Scotland’s swimmers were on top form and added to the team’s early gold rush. First up, Hannah Miley retained her title as Commonwealth Games champion in the 400m Individual Medley, an impressive feat and the only Scottish athlete to do so in any sport. She added a bronze in the 200m Individual Medley later in the week.

Within minutes of Miley collecting her gold, there was the first surprise of the night when 20 year old Ross Murdoch beat hometown favourite and fellow Scot, Michael Jamieson into second place in the 200m Breaststroke in a new Games record. The expression on Ross’s face said it all! Murdoch went on two days later to collect a bronze in the 100m Breaststroke to confirm his arrival on the world stage.

A third gold in the pool came from Dan Wallace on day two in the men’s 400m Individual Medley and he went on to pick up a further two silver medals in the 200m Individual Medley and as part of the men’s

4x200m Freestyle Relay team, to finish as the top Scottish swimmer of the Games.

But the darling of the pool was Shetland’s Erraid Davies, who at 13 years old was Team Scotland’s youngest ever team member and now medallist, winning bronze in the Para-Sport SB9 100m Breaststroke. Erraid’s beaming smile was a Games highlight that trended worldwide on Twitter and will be remembered for many years to come.

Other swimming medallists included Corrie Scott in the women’s 50m Breaststroke and the Men’s 4x200m Freestyle Relay team of Stephen Milne, Robbie Renwick, Duncan Scott & Dan Wallace, with Jak Scott, Gareth Mills, Cameron Brodie & Craig Hamilton ensuring the team cruised through the heats. This was the third successive Games where Scotland has taken silver in this event.

Swimming won a total of 10 medals: 3 gold, 3 silver and 4 bronze to take aquatic’s overall Commonwealth Games medal tally to an impressive 83 (including 23 gold), more than any other Scottish sport at the Games.

Over in Edinburgh at the Royal Commonwealth Pool, Scotland’s two divers Grace Reid and James Heatly acquitted themselves well, both setting new personal bests in the heats and finals of the 1m and 3m Springboard events.

ATHLETICS


ATHLETICS

A thletics also selected its largest ever team to a Commonwealth Games following three groups of nominations by Scottish Athletics. 23 athletes

were amongst the first team members named in September 2013, with a further four athletes confirmed following the closure of the Marathon selection period. A final 31 athletes were then named at Stirling Castle when the final team was announced on 12 June 2014, bringing the total number to 58 (27 men and 31 women) including five Para-Sport athletes.

The athletics action got underway on 27th July with the Marathon attracting thousands of spectators along the city centre course. The track and field events also started at Hampden Park, with the stadium looking magnificent in its converted form to a world-class athletics track.

Scottish athletes rose to the home Games challenge and, spurred on by a capacity crowd, delivered their best medal haul for 24 years – one gold, two silver and one bronze – to see Scotland finish eighth in the athletics ‘points table’. Scotland amassed 73 points with no fewer than 22 athletes contributing to

that tally – 18 individuals and the 4x400m men’s team.

Paralympic silver medallist Libby Clegg and guide runner Mikail Huggins took gold in the Para-Sport T12 100m, Scotland’s first gold on the track since Yvonne Murray in 1994.

There were emotional silvers for 400m Hurdler Eilidh Child and Lynsey Sharp in the 800m on successive nights, amid stirring scenes at Hampden. There was also a bronze for a delighted Mark Dry in the Hammer, Scotland’s first throws medal since 1982.

Other notable performances came from Jax Thoirs in the pole vault who missed out on a medal on countback to finish a cruel fourth, whilst Guy Learmonth in the 800m and Chris O’Hare in the 1500m both finished sixth and, amid hugely competitive fields, showed that they have what it takes to compete on the world stage. In the T54 1500m Samantha Kinghorn finished a strong fifth despite having to compete up a classification.

The track and field came to a finale for Scotland with the Men’s 4x400m team setting a national record in the final to finish fifth.

BADMINTON


BADMINTON

A full complement of 10 badminton players were selected to represent Team Scotland at Glasgow 2014 following the nominations by Badminton

Scotland.

Amongst the five men and five women, five athletes were making their second Team Scotland appearance at the Commonwealth Games with a further two having had Commonwealth Youth Games experience.

The action at the Emirates Arena got underway on day one with the start of the Team competition.

Seeded five, Scotland cruised through the group stages beating Guernsey, Seychelles and New Zealand all 5-0. They then drew top seeds and defending champions Malaysia in the first knockout stage and lost 3-1 to end their winning streak in the quarter finals.

It was then the turn of the Men’s and Women’s Singles and Doubles and the Mixed Doubles to take centre court with an individual knockout format adopted.

Mixed Doubles Pair, Robert Blair and Imogen Bankier, were the first to stake their claim for a badminton medal at Glasgow 2014. The third seeds cast aside their disappointment after losing their semi-final against England’s top seeds Chris and Gabby Adcock, bouncing back in style in the bronze medal match later in the day.

Blair and Bankier trailed 15-12 in the first game against Malaysian fifth seeds Chan Peng Soon and Pei Jing Lai, but then won nine of the next 11 points to take the opener 21-17. They followed through strongly in the second, to win the contest 21-11 on their third match point after only 37 minutes.

Kirsty Gilmour will be remembered for securing Team Scotland’s final medal of the Games, taking silver in the Women’s Singles. The Scottish No.1 and tournament second seed fell to Canada’s Michelle Li 21-14 21-7, much to the disappointment of the home fans packing Glasgow’s Emirates Arena. Gilmour had reached the final without dropping a game, but she got off to a nervous start and never quite recovered to find her usual top form.

Despite her disappointment, 20 year old Gilmour achieved Scotland’s best badminton result by a Singles player at any Games, her silver bettering Susan Egelstaff’s bronze at Melbourne 2006. Reaching the Commonwealth final is also Kirsty’s biggest achievement to date and augurs well for the future.

It was also the first time Scotland had won two medals since Edinburgh 1986 when Billy Gilliland added a Mixed Doubles bronze with Christine Black to his Men’s Doubles gold with Dan Travers.

BOXING

B oxers were selected for Team Scotland in each of the ten weight categories following nominations from Boxing Scotland. Three of the ten boxers had

been to the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi and a further two were making the step up from the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games.

Scottish boxers have been consistently successful at the Commonwealth Games and are the only sport to have won medals at every Games since their inception as the British Empire Games in 1930. This year’s squad were confident that they could keep up that 100% record in Glasgow 2014.

The early rounds of the boxing competition were held at the SECC and after a busy week in the ring, Scotland’s boxers secured four places in the semi-finals and were guaranteed four medals.

Reece McFadden (52kg), who had taken out the World number 1 from Wales in his opening bout of the competition, had to settle for bronze in the Flyweight category after losing out in a split decision to Andrew Moloney of Australia. There was a bronze too for, Heavyweight, Stephen Lavelle (91kg) who battled hard but came up just short against David Light of New Zealand.

But Delhi Silver medallist, Josh Taylor, and larger than life character, Charlie Flynn, made it all the way to the finals. There was a change of venue for the big occasion to the fabulous SSE Hydro Arena, packed with 10,000 fans determined to witness more Scottish success.

Postal worker Charlie Flynn delivered in style and took Scotland to the 50 medal mark with boxing’s first gold of the Games in the 60kg Lightweight division. In a memorable afternoon, where Flynn described the crowd as being ‘like ants that roared like lions’,

Flynn gave a commanding performance in the final against Welshman Joe Cordina to take the win with a unanimous decision. Having represented Team Scotland at the Commonwealth Youth Games in 2011, he remained unphased by the step up to senior Commonwealth competition.

For Josh Taylor (64kg), Namibia’s Junias Jonas was all that stood between him and a complete set of Commonwealth medals. He took bronze at the Youth Games in Pune in 2008, silver in Delhi two years later and was determined to make it gold in Glasgow. The Prestonpans light-welterweight boxed well from the off, and was two rounds up and cruising before seeing out the third. He emerged victorious to add a second boxing gold and ensure the crowd were treated to two renditions of Flower of Scotland, back to back.

The final medal tally of two gold and two bronze was the best result for the sport since 1962.

CYCLING


CYCLING

F ollowing nominations from Scottish Cycling, 34 cyclists were selected to compete in Track, Road and Mountain Bike events at Glasgow 2014.

This was the largest ever cycling squad assembled for Team Scotland at a Commonwealth Games, with an equal split between men and women. This also included six Para-Sport athletes, with the inclusion of Para-Cycling on the sport programme for the very first time.

It was the Para-Sport athletes that led the charge for medals, with Team Scotland’s first medal of the Games delivered in the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome on day one.

Multi Paralympic medallist Aileen McGlynn and pilot Louise Haston proved they were on top form in their qualifying event, smashing the Commonwealth Games Record in the Women’s Para-cycling Sprint B2 Tandem. This was then bettered by the English pairing Sophie Thornhill and Helen Scott, setting up an intriguing battle. After taking on the Australians in the semi-final McGlynn and Haston went through to join the English duo in a home nation’s battle for gold. In a close race McGlynn and Haston had to settle for silver, but it was made extra special as it was Scotland’s first medal of the Games. They went on to add a further silver in the 1000m Time Trial.

Experienced tandem duo Neil Fachie piloted by Craig MacLean snatched Scotland’s first cycling gold of the Games in the Men’s Para-cycling 1,000 metre Time Trial B Tandem with a gutsy ride. As the final pair on the start sheet, watching all the other competitors set their times, it was a nail-biting wait to get underway. The Australians had set the time to beat and after digging deep and giving it all they had, MacLean and Fachie crossed the line in spectacular style and made history by claiming the first ever Men’s Para-Cycling gold medal of the Commonwealth Games.

On the penultimate day of the Track Cycling, Fachie and MacLean stepped on to the track once more, this time in the Para-Cycling Sprint B Tandem, and won their second gold of the Games. This remarkable achievement saw them become two of Scotland’s four double gold medallists at Glasgow 2014.

Katie Archibald also continued to show her world class potential, winning bronze in the 25km Points Race on the track, along with a fourth place in the Individual Pursuit and a fifth place in the Scratch Race. She was also the first Scottish finisher in the Women’s Road Race in 7th place, at the end of a busy racing programme.

After the conclusion of the action on the track, spectators flocked in their thousands to Cathkin Braes Country Park to watch the Commonwealth elite take to the Mountain Bike cross-country trails. After a brilliant display of team work from the Scotland men, National Champion Grant Ferguson crossed the line in fifth place, with Lee Craigie seventh in the women’s event.

The final medal tally of two gold, two silver and one bronze is Cycling’s best Commonwealth Games result to date.

GYMNASTICS

F ollowing nominations from Scottish Gymnastics, a full squad of ten artistic gymnasts (five men, five women) were selected to compete for Team

Scotland at Glasgow 2014. Six gymnasts were making their Commonwealth Games debut, with three of them making the step up to the senior ranks, having represented Scotland at the 2011 Youth Games. In addition, three rhythmic gymnasts were selected, enabling Scotland to enter the team competition for the first time since 1998.

In the stunning setting of the SSE Hydro, Gymnastics won their first gold medals since Manchester 2002 and had their most successful Commonwealth Games ever winning two gold, two silver and a bronze.

Things got off to the perfect start with the Men’s Team of Liam Davie, Adam Cox, Daniel Keatings, Daniel Purvis and Frank Baines claiming a historic silver, Scotland’s first ever team medal in gymnastics at a Commonwealth Games.

With an unusual two-day format adopted for the Games, the Scots had to hold their form and their nerve overnight. Heading into day two the Scottish men sat in second place and despite gallant displays and excellent routines on Parallel Bars, High Bar and Vault, it was still not enough to topple their fierce rivals and GB teammates from England. Meanwhile the Women’s Team finished fifth.

This strong performance ensured that the Scots would feature in the following days’

events with three men and two women qualifying for the Individual All-Around final and four men and one woman qualifying for a total of 11 apparatus finals.

For the rest of the week it was the story of the two Daniels, with Keatings and Purvis each winning a further two medals. Keatings became Commonwealth Games Champion on the Pommel Horse as well as winning silver in the Individual All-Around, whilst teammate Daniel Purvis was the only athlete to collect a full set of medals with gold on Parallel Bars and bronze on Rings to add to his Team silver.

Frank Baines, recently returned from a career threatening back injury, also had a successful Team Scotland debut, competing in three individual apparatus finals resulting in two fourth places, in addition to his Team medal.

In the Rhythmic Team competition Scotland finished seventh and 15 year old Lauren Brash qualified for the Individual All-Around final, a significant achievement in her first year as a senior gymnast.

HOCKEY


HOCKEY

T he men’s and women’s Hockey teams for Glasgow 2014 were confirmed with exactly six weeks to go until the start of the Games. Scottish Hockey

nominated the full complement of 16 men and 16 women. The men’s team named six players each with over 100 caps, including Chris Nelson, William Marshall, Gareth Hall and Iain Scholefield. Two sets of brothers were also included – Niall and Ross Stott, alongside Alan and David Forsyth.

In the women’s team, there were a number of familiar and experienced faces in the line-up and none more so than Linda Clement, She was making her fourth Commonwealth Games appearance and has captained Scotland in over 100 international matches.

Scotland's women had high hopes going into the Games and a victory in their opening game against Malaysia got them off to the best possible start, in baking sunshine at the Glasgow National Hockey Centre. This was followed by defeat to Australia, then a win against Wales, before losing their final group match 2-1 against England in a very close encounter that could have gone either way. There was further disappointment in the classification games – losing 2-1 to India to finish 6th overall and better their 2010 result by one place.

In the men’s competition, Team Scotland suffered defeats at the hands of South Africa and India before beating Wales 4-3 in Pool A, only to go down against Australia in their final group game. They rounded off their Games against Malaysia, losing 2-1 in their classification match to finish 8th.

JUDO

J udo made its return to the Commonwealth Games programme for the first time since Manchester 2002, where Scottish judoka amassed 10 medals and

became Scotland’s most successful sport of the Games.

For Glasgow 2014 JudoScotland nominated the maximum number of 14 athletes (7 men and 7 women), with new rules allowing multiple entries in any of the weight categories, as long as the maximum number of athletes was not exceeded. This allowed Scotland to select its strongest possible team, which included Sarah Clark and John Buchanan, veterans of the 2002 Games.

The action got underway on day one of the Games at the SECC precinct and the team’s high hopes were quickly justified winning six medals by the close of play. These included an emotional double-gold for the Renicks sisters, with Kimberley (-48kg) assuring her place in the history books, winning Scotland’s first gold of the Games.

Fans didn’t have to wait long for a second medal, with John Buchanan (-60kg) taking bronze before Louise Renicks replicated her sister’s gold medal winning feat. The medals continued rolling in with James Millar (-66kg) and Connie Ramsay (-57kg) also both winning bronze, before Steph Inglis secured silver in the -57kg category.

On day two, Scotland’s Judo team added two more medals to take their impressive haul to eight. Sarah Clark (-63kg) won gold, her second Commonwealth Games medal 12 years apart, whilst Sally Conway (-70kg) claimed bronze.

The atmosphere in the Judo arena had built to a frenzy by the final night and started with a silver and a bronze for Matt Purssey and Andy Burns respectively in the -90kg category. It was then the turn of Team Scotland flag bearer, Euan Burton (-100kg), who took to the mat determined to make up at least in part, for his London 2012 disappointment. Despite fighting up a weight category, he fought supremely to win gold in his final competitive match and bring the curtain down on an incredible sporting career. As if this this wasn’t enough for the crowd they cheered both Sarah Adlington (+78kg) and Chris Sherrington (+100kg) on to victory, to conclude an incredible week for Scottish Judo.

Events that evening saw Judo become Scotland’s most successful ever sport at a single Games, surpassing Aquatics’ achievements of 2006, with a total of 13 medals (6 gold, 2 silver and 5 bronze) from 14 competitors.

LAWN BOWLS

Following nominations from Bowls Scotland, ten lawn bowlers (five men and five women) were selected to represent Team Scotland at Glasgow 2014 and

with a new format for the Games, each bowler competed in two of four events: Singles or Fours and Pairs or Triples.

Nine of the 10 bowlers had competed in a total of 18 Commonwealth Games between them and with three gold medals to their credit, their international experience was looking set to be the key to success. And so it proved, when at the iconic Kelvingrove Lawn Bowls Centre, spectators were to bear witness to some of the most consistent and impressive bowling by Scotland in many a Games.

By day five Team Scotland surpassed its overall gold medal target of more than 11, when Lawn Bowlers Alex Marshall and Paul Foster dominated Malaysia 20-3 with three ends to spare, to win the record breaking 12th gold in the Men’s Pairs.

The five-strong men’s bowling team went on to further success with Marshall and Foster adding a second gold in the Fours with teammates David Peacock and Neil Speirs beating England 16-8, whilst Darren Burnett controlled the Singles final beating Canada’s Ryan Bester, 21-9 to ensure they all went home with gold, as the action drew to a close at Kelvingrove.

The women’s team had contrasting fortunes. The Fours came close, but lost, 15-21 against New Zealand in the bronze medal match to finish a heart-breaking fourth.

Scotland went out in the quarter finals in both Singles and Triples, whilst the Pairs were unable to progress beyond the group stages.

Glasgow 2014 also saw Scotland’s Para-Sport Lawn Bowlers compete in the Games for the first time since 2002. A B6/B7/B8 Triples team was selected, along with a B2/B3 Visually Impaired Mixed Pair, who were each supported by a Director, classified as athletes for the first time and eligible to receive medals won. The seven nominations were made by Scottish Disability Sport.

The Para-Sport bowlers were also on form and got the Lawn Bowls medal tally off the ground on day three. Mixed Pairs B2/B3 competitors Robert Conway and Irene Edgar, together with their directors Ron McArthur and David Thomas, had to settle for silver after losing 14-10 to South Africa in the final. It had been a close encounter with Scotland going down and then fighting back until the fourteenth end, when a three by South Africa sealed their fate.


LAWN BOWLS

Scotland’s Para Open Triples B6/B7/B8 team of Billy Allan, Michael Simpson and Kevin Wallace narrowly missed out on the bronze medal, after England made an impressive comeback to level the game at 12-12 after the fifteenth end. In the decider, England produced the decisive blow to take the match and the medal with it.

The total of four medals (three gold and a silver), was double the Lawn Bowls pre-Games medal target and resulted in their

most successful Games ever. Alex Marshall, who had captained the men’s team to victory, was selected as Team Scotland flag bearer for the Closing Ceremony and later recognised as the athlete of the Games, winning the Scottish Sportsperson of the Year Award and presented with the Emirates Lonsdale Trophy.

NETBALL


NETBALL

N etball Scotland nominated a team of twelve players to represent Team Scotland at Glasgow 2014, as the sport prepared to make its first ever

appearance in the Commonwealth Games.

Ranked 12th in the World going into the Games, Scottish netball had seen a huge rise in its success and popularity in recent years improving from 16th back in 2011.

Leading the charge for the Scottish Thistles was 34 year-old captain Lesley MacDonald who had earned a staggering 118 caps for her country and competed in three World Championships. The role of vice-captain was fulfilled by Hayley Mulheron, who has represented Scotland at all age groups and been a regular fixture in the team alongside MacDonald. Other key players with a combined wealth of experience included shooter Lynsey Gallagher, who captained the U21 side at the World Youth Championships. Claire Brownie gave strength and power in the midcourt; whilst Rachel Forbes was one of the team’s top defenders.

The Commonwealth countries are renowned for being the strongest netballing nations in the world, with powerhouses Australia and New Zealand battling for gold in each of the past four Games. Other top contenders for

medals included England, Jamaica, Malawi and South Africa, ranked 3-6th in the World respectively.

Scotland had a tough draw with St Lucia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Malawi and Northern Ireland all in their group, requiring them to adjust to a range of styles of play as they faced teams from across the continents.

Making their Commonwealth Games debut, Scotland got their campaign underway with a strong 58-30 win over St Lucia at the SECC. However, match two saw them face world ranked number two, New Zealand. The girls played well and put in a good defensive effort, but were overcome 71-14 by the Silver Ferns.

Further losses in the remaining three group games consigned them to a play-off for 9th/10th place against Trinidad and Tobago. In their final match of the Games, they gave a strong and composed performance to finish on a high with a convincing 46-28 win.

RUGBY 7s


RUGBY 7s

C ompeting in its only its fourth Commonwealth Games, Scottish Rugby nominated a squad of 12 players to represent Team Scotland at Glasgow

2014. Four of the 12 players had competed in the Games before, with two involved in Delhi 2010 when Scotland 7s had their best finish in the multi-sport event, sixth place.

The much anticipated Rugby Sevens competition lived up to its billing with a world record crowd of 171,000 flocking to Ibrox, home turf of Rangers Football Club, over the two days of competition. There was an electric atmosphere in the stadium, with support for all nations.

Scotland made sure their medal hopes at Glasgow 2014 were still very much alive after day one, with two from three wins in their pool.

In their first game of the day, after losing three tries to four times Commonwealth Games champions New Zealand, Scotland bounced back and ended the match by the closest margin they have ever come to overturning their opponents, 14-17.

It was clear that confidence had been instilled in the side when they touched down eight times in their tie v Barbados to put them aside, 56-0. There were a number of highlights in this game, with Wight scoring his first ever Scotland 7s try and Sean Lamont and Stuart Hogg making their mark on the team with one try apiece. The remaining scores were touched down by Jones, who scored another brace, Mark Bennett, James Johnstone and Colin Shaw.

Finally, the match against Canada was the decider for Scotland. It was a must-win tie and the 50,000 strong crowd behind them made sure that happened, as every time they touched the ball the stadium erupted.

Jones scored his fifth try of the day and then Vernon stole the restart kick and sprinted in from 50 metres to extend the lead before Bennett, who was the Scots’ stand-out performer throughout the day, sealed the victory. Gregor converted all three tries.

Out of the group stages and with a quarter-final tie against South Africa required to keep them in the medal hunt, the tension as day two of the tournament dawned was palpable.

All too quickly Scotland went down, 35-12 against South Africa, and then also lost out to England in the fifth to eighth place play-off, 15-12. Despite fighting back in both games, with enormous encouragement from a capacity crowd, from three tries down in both first halves they were unable to rise to the occasion and were defeated by two better sides, to finish in seventh place.

Mark Bennett did however show that he is the rising star of Scottish rugby with a brilliant display in both matches and two quality tries.

SHOOTING


SHOOTING

A total of 16 shooters were selected for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games following nominations from Scottish Target Shooting. These

included representatives from all four shooting disciplines: five from Small Bore, five from Clay Target, four from Pistol and two from Full Bore. There were six Commonwealth Games medallists amongst them and five athletes making their Games debut.

The shooting competition was held at the Barry Buddon Shooting Centre in Angus, two hours from Glasgow, with athletes staying at a satellite Village in Carnoustie.

Shooting had been Scotland’s top sport at the Games in 2010 and they were looking to contribute again to the Team Scotland medal table in Glasgow.

It was the Clay Target discipline that reached the podium first with a silver for Drew Christie in the Skeet event, making up for his fourth place in Delhi.

For the Small Bore rifle shooters, unpredictable and swirling winds made life extremely difficult on the outdoor range, where every shot needed to count to avoid elimination.

In the 50m Rifle Prone, Delhi gold medallist Jen McIntosh shot steadily throughout and finished strongly to take bronze, but other world-class shooters including Scotland’s Jon Hammond in the men’s event fared less well in the conditions, to miss out on the final.

The following day with a medal already in the bag, Jen returned with renewed confidence in the 50m Rifle 3 Position. The lead changed hands several times in a nail-biting elimination round, going down to the final shot when it took a Games record by Jasmine Ser from Singapore to beat McIntosh, who had to settle for silver.

This medal helped Scotland reach its target of 34 plus medals and in the process Jen became Scotland’s most decorated female athlete in Commonwealth Games history, overtaking her mother Shirley in the record books.

Shirley McIntosh’s record of four Shooting medals (gold, silver and two bronze) won across the 1994 and 1998 Games had stood for 16 years before Jen took her own medal tally over two Games to five (two gold, silver and two bronze).

Neil Stirton had high hopes of medalling at his third successive Games and remained in the hunt for medals in the final of the Men’s 50m Rifle 3 Position, until the ‘standing’ element was his undoing. Both Stirton and Hammond finished just outside the medals in fourth and fifth places respectively.

There was also a second successive Commonwealth Games medal for Full Bore shooters Ian Shaw and Angus McLeod winning bronze in the Pairs to give a total of four medals for Shooting.

SQUASH


SQUASH

F ive men and two women were selected for Team Scotland at Glasgow 2014 following nominations from Scottish Squash. Harry Leitch and Frania Gillen-

Buchert were making their third Games appearance, with Scotland number one, Alan Clyne, his second. There were Games debuts for the remaining four athletes.

It was a fast-paced 11-day programme for Scotland’s squash players at the Scotstoun Sports Campus, starting with the Singles competition. Alan Clyne and Greg Lobban both made it through to the last 16, whilst Kevin Moran, who exited the main competition in the last 32, went on the contest the Classic Plate Final.

In the Mixed Doubles, both pairs of Alan Clyne and Frania Gillen-Buchert and Kevin Moran with Alex Clark qualified through their group matches, before going down in the last 16. In the Doubles the Scottish women failed to make it out of the group, whilst veteran Stuart Crawford with his partner Greg Lobban, some 12 years his junior, lost out in the quarter final to finish fifth.

So it was left to Men’s Doubles pairing of Alan Clyne and Harry Leitch to stake Scotland’s claim for a place on the podium in the bronze medal match. But it was not to be and they missed out by the tightest of margins, in two sets to England’s Daryl Selby and James Willstrop.

The Scots’ 11-9 11-7 defeat at the hands of the higher seeded pair came after a long, bruising battle. Rallies were long, punishing and physical. At one point Clyne had his visor smashed by the backswing from his opponent’s racket. The match had everything the packed, mainly Scottish crowd could have dreamt of...except victory for the home pair who desperately wanted to medal this time, having finished fourth at Delhi 2010.

TABLE TENNIS


TABLE TENNIS

A group of seven Table Tennis players were selected to represent Team Scotland at Glasgow 2014, following nominations by Table Tennis

Scotland. The team of four men and three women was a good blend of youth and experience, with three of the men having competed in previous Commonwealth Games going back to 2002, when it was first included on the sport programme.

The Men’s Team event got underway at the Scotstoun Sports Campus with the Scottish quartet of Gavin Rumgay, Craig Howieson, Niall Cameron and Sean Doherty. They performed strongly through the pool stage of the competition beating Uganda, higher ranked Canada, Sri Lanka and Tanzania to cruise into the quarter finals. There they came up against India, where they lost 0-3 to end their medal hopes.

The Women’s Team fared less well, winning two and losing three matches and didn’t progress out of the pool.

The Table Tennis Singles event was next on the programme and by the main draw stage, there were three Scottish men and one woman in the mix.

Craig Howieson and Sean Doherty had qualified comfortably from the group stages to progress to the 64 player knockout draw. At this stage Sean went out, but Craig

progressed to the last 32 before going down to a Welshman to bring his Singles tournament to a close.

Gavin Rumgay, whose ranking gave him direct entry to the last 32, won his first match with a decisive 4-1 victory before going down by the same margin against an Australian in the last 16.

In the Women’s Singles, Lynda Flaws, won a marathon last match against Jamaica to win her group and progress to the last 64. There she went down to her Nigerian opponent and exited the competition, but was pleased to have reached the main draw.

The Doubles competition saw good wins for both men’s pairs of Rumgay and Howieson and Cameron and Doherty, before both went out in the last 16. Meanwhile the women’s pair of Corinna Whitaker & Lynda Flaws won their opening match against Papua New Guinea before losing to Singapore to go out in the last 32.

It was then on to the Mixed Doubles with Whitaker and Doherty losing their opening match, while Gillian Edwards & Niall Cameron beat Papua New Guinea to progress to the last 32 where their Games ended.

TRIATHLON


TRIATHLON

Triathlon was introduced to the Commonwealth Games in 2002 and following an absence at the Delhi 2010 Games, it returned to the programme for

Glasgow 2014 with both Individual Triathlons and a new Mixed Team Relay event, held at the scenic Strathclyde Country Park.

Five athletes were selected for Team Scotland following their nomination by Triathlon Scotland – three men who would contest the individual event, with the top two selected for the relay and two women selected for the relay only.

The Individual Triathlons were the first medal events of the Commonwealth Games. A test of skill and endurance, the event starts with a 1500m open water swim, before a 40km cycle then a 10km run to finish.

A strong swim and a breakaway in the early stages of the bike leg by 20-year-old Marc Austin gave local crowds hope that a Scot might join England’s dominant Brownlee brothers on the podium in the Men’s Triathlon. However the pace set by the reigning World and Olympic champion Alistair, and his younger brother Jonathan, proved too much for Austin who faded in the second half of the 40km ride. In hot conditions, on a punishing course, the 10km run that followed was not something Austin wanted to remember.

In the end, first Scot home was David McNamee in 7th, with Grant Sheldon in 14th and Austin in 22nd.

Two days later and making its Commonwealth debut was the Mixed Team Triathlon Relay, a fast-paced tag-team event which sees two men and two women from each country swim 250m, cycle 6.6km and run 1.6km.

Scotland’s Natalie Milne, Grant Sheldon, Seonaid Thompson and David McNamee joined forces and roared on by fantastic home support, the quartet clocked a collective one hour, seventeen minutes and 50 seconds. McNamee brought the team home in an exciting finish, which saw the Irvine-born World Series competitor pip Welshman Morgan Davies by three seconds to finish seventh.

England, with the dominant Brownlee brothers in their four, won in a time of 1.13:24 with South Africa taking silver and Australia the bronze, the latter two teams separated by a single second. Canada finished fourth, three seconds outside the medals.

WEIGHTLIFTING& POWERLIFTING


WEIGHTLIFTING & POWERLIFTING

Four weightlifters and one Para-Sport Powerlifter were selected to represent Team Scotland at Glasgow 2014, following nominations from Scottish

Weightlifting. Delhi 2010 silver medallist, Peter Kirkbride, was the sole male weightlifter and was joined by three female lifters, the first time Scotland had taken part in the women’s competition.

Team Scotland was also making its first appearance in the Para-Sport Powerlifting, with Michael ‘Micky’ Yule competing in the Men’s Heavyweight competition.

Georgi Black (-63kg) was Scotland’s top performing female weightlifter at the Games. With her first lift of 75kg in the snatch and then an impressive 100kg on her third lift in the clean & jerk, Georgi set a new Scottish record of 175kg combined to finish 9th. Her cousin Sophie Smyth (-58kg) was also competing in the Games and she too set a new personal best in the clean & jerk element, to lift a combined total of 145kg that saw her finish 14th.

Louise Mather (-69kg), who had only been in the sport for 18 months, got off to a shaky start in the snatch, posting 75kg with her final attempt, before recovering to lift 96kg in the clean & jerk to give her a total of 171kg and 11th place in the competition.

After a difficult year for Delhi silver medallist, Peter Kirkbride, Glasgow 2014 proved a disappointment, as he failed to post a lift

in the clean & jerk and was left without a combined score to count.

It was then the turn of the Para-Sport Powerlifters to take to the platform at the Clyde Auditorium.

In the S750 Heavyweight category (+72kg) for Scotland was Micky Yule, a Sergeant in the British Army, who was tragically injured by an improvised explosive device (IED) whilst serving in Afghanistan in 2010. His injuries required more than 40 operations and left him a double amputee. Competing in Powerlifting competitions for the Army since 2007, Yule took a year to recover from his accident before getting back into the gym in 2011 and competing for Great Britain in Para-Sport Powerlifting.

Up against some strong opposition, Micky lifted 172.9kg to finish in a credible 4th place.

WRESTLING


WRESTLING

Scottish Wrestling nominated a full complement of 14 athletes (seven men and seven women) to compete at Glasgow 2014. As in Judo, revised rules made

it possible to enter multiple athletes in any given weight category as long as the maximum number of athletes was not exceeded. Seven athletes had represented Team Scotland at previous Games and one had been part of Youth Team Scotland at Pune 2008.

It wasn’t long before Wrestling contributed to Team Scotland’s medal haul, making a return to the Commonwealth Games podium for the first time in 20 years.

Viorel Etko became the first Scot since 1994 to win a Wrestling medal at a Commonwealth Games, taking bronze in the 61kg competition. Etko won three of his four bouts at the SECC Precinct, on route to winning his first Games medal. It was in the semi-final that he missed out on the gold/silver final, out-muscled by eventual gold medallist, David Tremblay of Canada, 2-10. However in the bronze medal match he beat Malta’s Adam Vella, 10-0 in just one minute and 46 seconds and thrilled the home crowd with his joyful celebrations.

It was then the turn of Alex Gladkov (65kg), coached by his father, Volodymyr, to collect Team Scotland’s second Wrestling bronze in epic fashion, with the 28-year-old overcoming controversial calls, and a mid-match knee injury, to defeat his Sri Lankan opponent Chamara Perera.

Alex had lost his opening encounter of the day against London 2012 Olympic bronze medallist Yogeshwar Dutt, but with the Indian going all the way to win the gold, Alex was given a reprieve in the bronze medal repechage. There, he faced teammate Gareth Jones, the 20-year-old from Old Kilpatrick, who also lost to Dutt after an

impressive round of 16 win over Timea Kitiona of Kiribati. Alex used his experience to overcome Jones and set up the showpiece medal match.

Alex surged into an early 8-1 lead and flipped his opponent four times in what looked like the match-ending result. Instead, following a video replay, he was adjudged to have touched his shoulders on the mat and the match continued.

Rattled by the decision, Alex soon found himself ahead by just a single point and worse was to come as, twenty seconds before the end of the first round, he jarred his knee, requiring an extended medical stop whilst the medical team bandaged him up. Showing incredible inner strength, Alex returned to his feet and went the full six minutes to claim the bronze.

In the women’s competition Sarah Jones (69kg), Shannon Hawke (53kg) and Fiona Robertson (48kg) were the top performers all finishing in fifth place.

With two bronze medals Wrestling matched their 1994 performance, the last time they were on the podium.

2011 YOUTH TEAM SCOTLAND REPRESENTATIVES


The Fourth Commonwealth Youth Games took place in the Isle of Man from 7-13 September 2011, with Scotland

returning home with 22 medals. 19 athletes contributed to the final total, which shows there is a depth of young talent coming through the ranks.

Aside from the medals, each and every one of Scotland’s athletes performed exceptionally well and took away some important lessons from the Games, as well as some lifelong memories. The Commonwealth Youth Games are all about offering development opportunities for athletes and staff, and the whole team undoubtedly benefitted from the experience.

With around 25% of previous Youth Games athletes going on to represent Scotland at the senior Games, we will undoubtedly see more of these young athletes over the coming years. In the meantime we look back on the three days of competition in the Isle of Man.

AthleticsIt was a fantastic Games for sprinter Tom Holligan, who was voted Youth Team Scotland’s flagbearer for the opening ceremony. Tom won gold in the 200m at the European Youth Olympic Festival in July 2011, and he replicated his performance in the Isle of Man to add the Commonwealth Youth title to his name.

Also on the track, Chloe Lambert won bronze in the women’s 200m on what turned out to be a fantastic closing day for Scotland’s athletics team. Kimberley Reed won silver in the women’s Hammer, while Nick Percy picked up bronze in the men’s event. Nick added that bronze to the silver medal he’d picked up in the Discus the day before, where he set a new British under-17 record.

BadmintonScotland’s young Badminton players equipped themselves well against some world-class opposition in a busy three days of competition on the court. Kirsty Gilmour battled well through the women’s Singles but lost out in the semi-finals against the eventual silver medallist. In the bronze medal match, Kirsty put in a commanding performance to win in straight sets.

BoxingUp against some strong Commonwealth opposition, Scotland’s five boxers fought well to win four medals; three silver and one bronze. Bantamweight fighter Mark McKeown lost out narrowly to the eventual gold medallist on the opening day of competition, while Rhys Pagan won bronze in the light welterweight division.

Charlie Flynn (lightweight), Kieran Smith (welterweight) and Grant Quigley (middleweight) were all in good shape, making it through to the gold medal bouts on the final evening of the Games. All three athletes fought well, but lost, coming home with three silver medals. Charlie and Grant came incredibly close to taking gold, with a single point deciding their respective contests.

YOUTH GAMES OVERVIEW


YOUTH GAMES OVERVIEW

CyclingThere was a host of World and European champions competing in the three cycling disciplines at the Youth Games, and Scotland’s athletes Grant Ferguson, Stuart McCluskey, Taylor Johnstone and Jack Barrett all raced well. Ferguson in particular pushed the medal winners close, coming 11th in the Time Trial, sixth in the Road Race and fifth in the Criterium.

GymnasticsScotland’s six gymnasts lined up in the Team All-Around competition on the opening day with the women finishing fourth and the men fifth. This qualified each of the athletes for individual events over the weekend with Douglas Ross excelling in the men’s Vault final to win gold. Douglas finished with a score of 14.825, which was enough to see off some strong competitors.

Rugby 7sIn the pool matches Scotland won against the Isle of Man and Canada before losing out to Australia, who topped the group. The boys put in a convincing performance in the semi-final against Sri Lanka to set up a quarter-final against England. Despite playing well, England prevailed and went on to win the competition, leaving Scotland to face Australia once more in the bronze medal match. In an agonisingly close game the Australia came out on top 15-12, with Scotland finishing in fourth place.

SwimmingScotland’s swimmers won half of the total medal haul, with nine athletes collecting 11 medals. Breaststroker, and athlete of the Games, Craig Benson won gold in the 50m, 100m and 200m breaststroke and helped the

men’s 4x100m Medley Relay team to silver. Josh Booth, Ali Stirling and Mark Szaranek were the other members of the silver medal winning relay team.

Emily Jones was the most successful female athlete at the Games, winning three bronze medals in the 400m Individual Medley, 100m Breaststroke and 4x200m Freestyle Relay. The other members of the bronze medal relay team were Fiona Donnelly, Kirstin McKinley and Rachel Sharples.

Fiona Donnelly, Charlotte McKenzie, Ali Stirling and Mark Szaranek all won individual bronze medals to complete the total from the pool. Swimming also witnessed one of the most exciting moments of the Games when Fiona Donnelly and Emily Jones finished in a dead heat in 400m Individual Medley to share the bronze medal.
