Glasgow Commonwealth Games 2014

During the summer Glasgow was host to the 20th Commonwealth Games

Many of you would have attended the events or even just noticed the buzz in Glasgow :P

Despite some peoples’ preconceptions of Glasgow, the Games were a roaring success!

Many famous athletes came to Glasgow for the games, such as …

Usain Bolt

The Browlee Bros.

Louis Smith

But it was not always the gold medallists or

most famous competitors who achieved the most! There were many Scottish team members who inspired the nation:

The swimmer Erraid Davis won a bronze medal in the 100m breaststroke final - at only 13 years old!

Eilidh Child was a huge inspiration at the Games. claiming silver in the 400m hurdles - despite being ill the morning of her race.

We saw courage and determination:

"It was so bad. I was like, 'How am I going to be able to run if I can't bend over to take my socks off?'. But somehow, there was another miracle." Scotland's Lynsey Sharp was on a drip at 5.30am in the morning, sick and barely able to move. Come the evening, she had won 800m track silver.

Postman and boxer Charlie Flynn triumphantly won the gold medal in the Men’s lightweight boxing final!

• "As my mate Kevin from the Royal Mail would say, I'm buzzing like a jar of wasps. The mail man has delivered once again!"

However, it was not just the competitors who made the Commonwealth Games great - it was the people of Glasgow, their support and involvement in the Games.

Even Prince Imran of the Commonwealth said these were the “best games ever,” and finished by saying Glasgow is,

‘PURE DEAD BRILLIANT!’

(We agree)

We hope you were inspired by the Games!

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING
