Gold for Duncan Scott as part of the 4x200m Freestyle Relay and silver for Team GB’s Quadruple Sculls, including Scots Angus Groom and Harry Leask, hit the headlines on day five of Olympic action. Catch up on how results have gone for our other Commonwealth Scots in Tokyo and what to look out for tomorrow.

Aquatics

No final of the 200m Breaststroke for Ross Murdoch as he finished fifth in his semi-final, but he’s stated he’s now firmly focused on a third Commonwealth Games for Team Scotland in Birmingham next year where he’ll look to add to his gold, silver and bronze from Glasgow and Gold Coast.

Fresh from his relay gold medal, there was an impressive heat swim from Duncan Scott in the 200m IM, safely through to the semi-finals which take place on Thursday morning (04:08).

Later on Thursday Cassie Wild goes in the 200m Backstroke heats (12:05).

Badminton

Kirsty Gilmour put in a fighting performance against No. 4 seed Akane Yamaguchi but it was the Japanese who prevailed, winning 21-9 21-18.

Cycling

Anna Shackley finished in 18th and Tao Geoghegan Hart was 29th in the road cycling time trials on Wednesday morning.

Hockey

Scotland’s Sarah Robertson played her part as Great Britain’s women secured a 4-1 victory over India that edges them closer to qualification from Pool A. Next up they play Netherlands on Thursday (11:00).

Rugby 7s

Team GB, including Scots Robbie Fergusson, Max McFarland, Alex Coombes and Ross McCann, just missed the medals with a fourth place finish. Their semi-final with New Zealand saw the Kiwis take the win 29-7 and a close bronze medal match went to Argentina 17-12.

Duncan Scott became the first Scottish medal winner at the Tokyo Olympics after a silver-medal winning performance in the 200m freestyle.

Scott finished just 0.04 seconds behind Team GB team-mate Tom Dean, becoming the first British gold and silver finish in the pool since 1908.

Speaking after the race, Scott said: “Massive credit to Tom, Olympic Champion, that was unbelievable.  To have come along so far over the last 18 months, it has been a pleasure to see and it’s great to be able to say he’s a good mate out of the pool and it’s great to be able to compete against him as well.

“I am delighted with that. For me I’ve got to give massive credit to my coach Steve Tigg. I wouldn’t be standing here without him. The journey I have been on with him since I was eight years old has been phenomenal.”

This is the latest addition to his medal haul – the 24-year-old is Team Scotland’s most decorated athlete at an individual Commonwealth Games after picking up six medals in Gold Coast 2018, and also won silver at Glasgow 2014 and two silvers at the Rio Olympics in 2016.

Scott has plenty more to fight for this week – he’ll team up with Dean in the 4x200m relay, and will also be competing in the 200m individual medley and both medley relays later in the week.

 

Duncan Scott has been the man of the moment with his Olympic silver medal performance, but how are our other Commonwealth Scots doing? We have a look at the latest from Tokyo.

Aquatics

Scott was agonisingly close to a gold medal, with just 0.04 seconds separating him from Team GB teammate Tom Dean, but the pair will be teaming up in the 4x200m freestyle final, scheduled for 04:26 BST on Wednesday morning. The 200m individual medley heats will take place later on Wednesday, with Duncan in Heat 6 (12:12).

Kathleen Dawson missed out on a medal in the 100m backstroke final, finishing in sixth position in a fiercely contested swim.

Ross Murdoch qualified for the semi-finals of the 200m breaststroke after finishing fifth in his year – the semis are scheduled for 03:21.

Badminton

Kirsty Gilmour started her bid for a medal with a strong performance against Pakistan’s Mahoor Shahzad, winning 21-14, 21-14. She’s back in action at 01:00 against Japan’s Akane Yamaguchi.

Rugby Sevens

Robbie Fergusson, Max McFarland and Ross McCann all featured in a stunning comeback victory for Team GB against USA.

The side trailed 21-0 and looked down and out but scored 26 consecutive points to seal a semi-final place against New Zealand.

Of the 53 Scots set to compete at the Tokyo Olympic Games, 20 represented Team Scotland at Gold Coast 2018, including 10 medallists. For many, the Commonwealth Games has acted as a springboard in their journey to Olympic selection. In the last of our series we profile our Cycling, Hockey and Rugby 7s athletes who are following up their Gold Coast experience with a trip to Tokyo…

CYCLING

Katie Archibald

Gold Coast 2018: Bronze medallist in the Points Race at Glasgow 2014, Katie stepped up in style at her second Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, winning gold in the Individual Pursuit, silver in the Points Race and recording two 4th place finishes in the Scratch Race and Road Time Trial. Her Individual Pursuit gold came on a special night as her brother John took silver in the men’s event, making them the first brother and sister to win Commonwealth Games medals for Scotland on the same day.

Road to Tokyo: Olympic gold medal winner in the Women’s Team Pursuit in Rio five years ago, Katie comes into her second Games in Tokyo with a wealth of silverware to her name. Since Gold Coast she had added four gold and four silver medals at the European Championships to her impressive resume, as well as silver in the Team Pursuit at both the 2019 and 2020 World Championships.

Jack Carlin

Gold Coast 2018: Making his Commonwealth Games debut at Gold Coast 2018, Jack brought all his international experience from two European U23 titles and a silver medal at the European senior championships to bear as he put in a fantastic performance to take silver in the Sprint and 4th place in the Keirin.

Road to Tokyo: Jack had a fantastic 2018 with silver in both the Team and Individual Sprint at the World Championships alongside his Commonwealth Games silver. He has continued to be an integral part of the British Team Sprint trio, winning European Championships silver in 2019 and silver again at the 2020 World Championships. Tokyo will be his Olympic debut.

Neah Evans

Gold Coast 2018: Making her Commonwealth Games debut at Gold Coast 2018, she was twice on the podium as she won silver in the Scratch Race and bronze in the Points Race, before also putting in a strong performance in the Road events with 8th place in both Time Trial and Road Race.

Road to Tokyo: Gold Coast 2018 represented Neah’s first major championship medals and since then she has come into her own, winning gold in the Team Pursuit at three successive European Championships (2018,2019 and 2020) as well as making it a double gold in 2020 by taking the Individual Pursuit title. 2020 also saw her win silver at the World Championships as part of the Team Pursuit and she will make her Olympic debut in Tokyo.

HOCKEY

Sarah Robertson

Gold Coast 2018: An attacking midfielder, Sarah followed up her Commonwealth Games debut at Glasgow 2014 with a 7th place finish in Gold Coast.

Road to Tokyo: Having played the vast majority of games for GB during the 2019 FIH Hockey Pro League, Sarah then helped Scotland to gold on home soil at the 2019 EuroHockey Champs II, earning them promotion back to the top tier in the process. She has over 100 caps for Scotland and over 50 for GB and will make her Olympic debut in Tokyo.

RUGBY 7s

Max McFarland

Gold Coast 2018: A core Scotland 7s player, Max was part of the Team Scotland side that placed 6th in Gold Coast, just missing out on the chance to play for a first team medal. With only the top-ranked team from each group advancing to the last four, Scotland’s last pool match against South Africa was decisive with the World Rugby Series leaders and Commonwealth champions progressing, despite Scotland’s wins over Papua New Guinea and Malaysia.

Road to Tokyo: Max was Scotland 7s top try scorer in the 2019 World Sevens Series and was on course to repeat that feat in 2020 before the tour was cancelled due to Covid. One of six Scots named to the initial Team GB training squad and one of four included in the final team, he will make his Olympic debut in Tokyo.

Robbie Fergusson

Gold Coast 2018: Diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2014, he made a full recovery and went on to earn a contract at Glasgow Warriors before moving to London to play for London Scottish. He made his Commonwealth Games debut at Gold Coast 2018 as the team finished in 6th place (see Max McFarland profile above).

Road to Tokyo: Fergusson is the Scotland 7s captain and was Scotland’s joint top points scorer in the truncated 2020 World Sevens Series. Tokyo will be his first Olympic Games. While sevens has been his priority, he returned to Warriors in 2019/20 and will continue with them upon his return from Tokyo.

Part One: Aquatics

Part Two: Athletics, Badminton, Shooting

Of the 53 Scots set to compete at the Tokyo Olympic Games, 20 represented Team Scotland at Gold Coast 2018, including 10 medallists.

ATHLETICS

Zoey Clark

Gold Coast 2018: Having run for Team Scotland at both the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games and Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, Zoey was a semi-finalist in the individual 400m in Gold Coast. She was also a member of the Scotland 4x400m team that finished 6th in the final.

Road to Tokyo: Already a World silver medallist and World Indoor bronze medallist in the 4x400m prior to Gold Coast, Zoey has been a regular member of the GB relay squad, winning bronze at the 2018 European Championships in Berlin and silver at two successive European Indoor Championships in 2019 and 2021. Tokyo will be her first Olympic Games.

Callum Hawkins

Gold Coast 2018: Callum received an outpouring of concern and well wishes from supporters both Scottish and from further afield as he succumbed to the heat with just a mile to go in the Marathon, having led for much of the race.

Road to Tokyo: Callum finished ninth on his Team GB debut at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, with brother Derek in 15th. Following Gold Coast Callum was in superb form at the 2019 World Championships in Doha, taking 4th place and was one of the first athletes selected to Team GB for Tokyo, being pre-selected in December 2019.

Eilish McColgan

Gold Coast 2018: Having competed in the Steeplechase at Glasgow 2014, Eilish switched from the barriers to the flat following a serious foot injury. She was a finalist in both 1,500m and 5,000m in Gold Coast, finishing 6th in both events.

Road to Tokyo: In the summer of 2018, Eilish followed up her Gold Coast 2018 by taking silver over 5,000m at the European Championships in Berlin, adding to her European Indoor bronze from the previous year. She has been in brilliant form in 2021, erasing Paula Radcliffe’s long-standing British 5,000m record at the Oslo Diamond League. Tokyo will be her third Olympic Games following a debut in the 3,000m steeplechase at London 2012 and qualifying as a finalist in the 5,000m at Rio 2016. She will contest the 5,000m and 10,000m in the Japanese capital 30 years on from her mother Liz McColgan’s Tokyo World Championship win.

Steph Twell

Gold Coast 2018: Steph won 1500m bronze and was 4th in the 5,000m on her Commonwealth Games debut at Delhi 2010. A broken ankle in 2011 and a further foot injury in 2012 set her back, but by Glasgow 2014 she returned to international action and competed at her third Games in Gold Coast, where she was a finalist in the 5000m and 1500m, finishing 7th in the latter.

Road to Tokyo: Steph made her Olympic debut at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, narrowly missing the 1500m final, having won World Junior gold in that event earlier in the year.

A year later she broke Liz McColgan’s long-standing Scottish record with a time of two hours 26 minutes and 40 seconds and having overcome a hamstring problem that caused her to drop out of the 2020 London Marathon, she is set to compete at her third Olympics at a fourth distance in Tokyo.

Jake Wightman

Gold Coast 2018: Competing at his second Commonwealth Games, Gold Coast 2018 saw Jake go comfortably through the rounds in both 800m and 1500m. He went one better than his fourth place finish in the 800m to bag a spot on the 1500m podium on the final night. Making his move down the back straight, he chased down Kenyan’s Elijah Manangoi and Timothy Cheruiyot, who finished one-two at the 2017 World Championships, to take bronze.

Road to Tokyo: Jake rounded out a hugely successful 2018 by taking bronze in the 1500m at the European Championships in Berlin. 2019 saw him make the final of the 1500m at the World Championships, finishing 5th, while in 2020 he followed up with a Scottish record of 3:29.47 at the Monaco Diamond League. A second place finish behind Edinburgh AC clubmate Josh Kerr in a thrilling Olympic Trials race saw him claim his place in Tokyo.

BADMINTON

Kirsty Gilmour

Gold Coast 2018: Kirsty became the youngest badminton player to attend a Commonwealth Games for Scotland when she competed at Delhi 2010 having just turned 17. At Glasgow 2014 she became the first Scottish woman to reach a Commonwealth Games Badminton Singles final, winning silver. Gold Coast 2018 saw a return to the podium with a second successive Singles medal, this time a bronze.

Road to Tokyo: Since Gold Coast Kirsty has racked up two wins and two silver medals on the BWF World Tour, including gold on home soil at the Scottish Open in 2018.

Of the 53 Scots set to compete at the Tokyo Olympic Games, 20 represented Team Scotland at Gold Coast 2018, including 10 medallists. For many, the Commonwealth Games has acted as a springboard in their journey to Olympic selection. In the run up to Tokyo we take a quick look back at their Gold Coast 2018 results and their journey to the Olympic Games, starting in the pool…

Kathleen Dawson

Gold Coast 2018: Having made her debut for Team Scotland at Glasgow 2014, she returned for Gold Coast 2018 finishing 6th in both 50m and 100m Backstroke and 5th as part of the 4x100m Medley relay.

Lucy Hope

Gold Coast 2018: Lucy first competed for Team Scotland as a 17 year old at Glasgow 2014. Gold Coast 2018 saw her in individual action, reaching the finals of the 50m Backstroke and 200m Freestyle, also securing a 5th place finish in the Medley Relay.

Road to Tokyo: Since Gold Coast Lucy has come into her own, winning 4x200m Freestyle Relay gold at the 2018 European Championships and an incredible four gold medals in the relay events at the same championships in 2021. She lowered the Scottish 100m Freestyle record at the Olympic trials in 2021 and will make her Olympic Games debut in Tokyo.

She also swam the heats for the gold medal winning 4x100m Medley Relay team. Tokyo will be her first Olympics.

Ross Murdoch

Gold Coast 2018: Ross announced his arrival on the international stage with a stunning gold in the 200m Breaststroke at Glasgow 2014, setting a Games record in the process. Gold Coast 2018 saw him just miss out on defending his Commonwealth title, closing England’s James Wilby down in the final stages but having to settle for silver.

Road to Tokyo: Following Gold Coast, posted the third-fastest time in the 100m Breaststroke heats at the 2018 European Championships – but the two per nation rule meant he was unable to progress. He narrowly missed out on bronze by finishing fourth in his preferred 200m event. He struggled for form over the next few years and even considered retiring from swimming during the dark days of lockdown in 2020 but has bounced back in style to qualify for his second Olympic Games.

Duncan Scott

Gold Coast 2018: Winning six medals, Duncan was star of the pool at Gold Coast 2018, becoming Scotland’s most decorated athlete at a single Games and the first Scottish swimmer to win gold in the 100m Freestyle.

It was his relay performance, however, that really stood out as he produced the second-fastest relay split of all-time, and fastest in a textile suit, on the last leg of the 4x100m medley to bring the British team home to gold. The European Championships in 2021 saw him claim three silver medals in the 200m Freestyle and both Men’s Freestyle relays.

James Heatly

Gold Coast 2018: James took bronze in the 1m Springboard event at Gold Coast 2018, Scotland’s first Diving medal since James’s grandfather, Sir Peter Heatly, won gold in the 10m Platform in 1958.

Road to Tokyo: Following his Gold Coast success, James has made a habit of winning major championship medals with back-to-back European Championships bronze medals in the 1m Springboard in Glasgow in 2018 and 3m Springboard a year later in Kiev. At the 2021 FINA Diving World Cup held in Japan as an official test event for the Tokyo Olympics, he won silver in the 3m Springboard and will make his Olympic debut in Japan, 73 years after his grandfather competed at his first Olympics.

Grace Reid

Gold Coast 2018: Selected for her third Commonwealth Games at the age of just 21, Grace put in a brilliant display in the 1m Springboard to win Scotland’s first ever medal for women’s diving at a Commonwealth Games, and the first Scottish diving gold for 60 years.

Road to Tokyo: 2018 was an incredible year for Grace as, alongside her Commonwealth Games gold, she took 3m Mixed Synchro bronze with Ross Haslam at the FINA Diving World Cup in China and won gold and silver in the 3m and 3m Synchro events respectively at the European Championships in Glasgow. Tokyo will be her second Olympic appearance after becoming the first Brit to make the Women’s 3m Springboard final on her Olympic debut in Rio.
