After finishing just outside the medals at Glasgow 2014 and Gold Coast 2018, there was finally medal joy for both para-powerlifter Micky Yule and wheelchair racer Samantha Kinghorn, with emotional scenes on day seven of the Birmingham 2022 Games.
Kinghorn secured Team Scotland’s first medal of the day with a brilliant bronze in the Women’s T53/54 1500m, breaking away with Australian duo Madison de Rozario and Angela Ballard and powering home to a podium place, just pipped on the line by Ballard for silver. Fellow Scot Melanie Woods put in a fantastic performance for fourth. There was also a fifth place finish for Nick Percy in the Men’s Discus final.
Across the city Micky Yule, one of Team Scotland’s flagbearers at the Opening Ceremony eight days ago, was making his own piece of history. Injured by an improvised explosive device whilst serving in Afghanistan in 2010, an injury that required more than 40 operations and left him a double amputee, Micky lifted 192kg in the Para-Powerlifting Heavyweight final to take his first Commonwealth Games medal after finishing fourth at the past two Games.
Melanie Innes and Robert Barr, with their directors George Miller and Sarah-Jane Ewing, are in the mixed para pairs B2/B3 gold medal match after a terrific semi-final success against England. The duo won 21-6 in a fantastic performance that saw them lead from the third end. The Scots will play in tomorrow’s final at noon against Wales and will add a third para medal to this Games’ collection.
Iain McLean beat Ross Davis of Jersey 21-13 in the men’s singles bowls to get his day off to a great start, and then followed up with an important 21-4 victory over Shannon McIlroy of New Zealand. The wins will see McLean feature in the men’s singles quarter finals. Scotland’s men’s fours also had a successful day as they defeated South Africa 15-10 and New Zealand 18-10, also claiming a quarter finals spot.
Day seven saw the start of the Rhythmic Gymnastics competition in Arena Birmingham, and Louise Christie was in action representing Team Scotland in the Individual Qualification. Some incredible technical performances from the first Scottish gymnast to represent Team GB in six years saw her qualify for the All-Around competition tomorrow, and for the Clubs and Ribbon apparatus finals on Saturday.
The streets of Wolverhampton were lined the whole way for the Road Cycling Time Trial as the riders were treated to an incredible atmosphere. Last off for Team Scotland was John Archibald, and fresh from an excellent track meet, he was looking to produce another high-quality ride, and that is exactly what he did, finishing in 6th behind a quintet of world class riders. Mark Stewart and Finn Crockett were also in action in the men’s event and produced similarly good rides to take 14th and 22nd respectively, the latter on his Commonwealth Games debut, having only been called up for this event two days ago to replace the injured Kyle Gordon.
The women’s race saw double track medallist Neah Evans joined by road pro Anna Shackley. Shackley, from Milngavie, produced a focused effort on a lumpy course; fifth through the first checkpoint she looked on course for a great ride, but faded slightly in the second half of the race, to eventually round out 10th. Evans finished in a solid 17th place.
Bantamweight Matty McHale and Welterweight Tyler Jolly increased the number of guaranteed Boxing medals by defeating their quarter final opponents from Malaysia and Papua New Guinea with a third round stoppage and unanimous decision respectively. Even though he fought with tremendous heart, Flyweight Lennon Mulligan could not join them in the semi finals, as he suffered a unanimous decision loss to an experienced fighter from India.
Under the sun in Smithfield, Scotland’s Beach Volleyball women played their final pool match against Solomon Islands. Having lost their previous two matches against England and Vanuatu, the women had to win this match in order to progress into the competition’s quarter-finals. The first set was won easily with Beattie and Coutts taking it to 21-6 in just 13 minutes, however the second set was 22 minute a point-for-point battle. With the support from Team Scotland’s Women’s Hockey team, Lynne and Mel finally took a two point lead and brought the second set to a close with 21-16. They’ll play in a quarter final tomorrow against Australia at 14:30.
This evening saw the first of the Diving finals in Sandwell Aquatics Centre and first up were the men on the 1m Springboard, Scotland represented by James Heatly, Danny Mabbott and Ross Beattie. All three finished in the top ten with James in fourth, Danny ninth and Ross tenth. Next in action was Gemma McArthur in the 10m Platform. Gemma improved on her Gold Coast finish in the same event, ending the day in ninth place.
Scotland had a winning evening in the squash mixed doubles with Lisa Aitken and Greg Lobban enjoying a 2-0 victory Marlene West and Cameron Stafford of the Cayman Islands; and Georgia Adderlay and Rory Stewart also winning 2-0 against Hollie Naughton and Nick Sachvie of Canada. In the women’s doubles Georgia Adderlay and Lisa Aitken enjoyed a 2-0 win over New Zealand’s Kaitlin Watts and Abbie Palmer.
Kirsty Gilmour, Callum Smith, Matt Grimley, Eleanor O’Donnell, Adam Hall, Julie MacPherson and Chris Grimley were all in Badminton action on Day Seven, and made it through to their respective Round of 16 matches over the coming days.
Unfortunately the Mixed Doubles and Men’s Doubles Table Tennis pairings of both Rebecca Plaistow and Gavin Rumgay with Colin Dalgleish could not get past opponents from Australia and England to make their own Last 16 match ups. In their fifth and final Pool Match, the Netball team were defeated 64-46 by South Africa.

A scintillating six medals, including four gold, had Team Scotland racing up the medal table on day six at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. Scotland now sit fifth ahead of South Africa with a total of 32 medals: seven gold, eight silver and 17 bronze.
Eilish McColgan struck gold in the 10,000m, 36 years after her mum Liz took the first of two victories over the same distance. As the race entered its closing stages Eilish found herself locked in a battle with Kenya’s Irine Cheptai and, roared on by the crowd, pulled clear in the home straight. She crossed the line in a new Games record of 30:48.60 and with a look of utter disbelief at the magnitude of her achievement.
In the same race, Sarah Inglis made her debut at a Commonwealth Games and finished ninth.
The final night of swimming action saw Duncan Scott, already Team Scotland’s most decorated athlete of all-time, race to a magnificent gold in the Men’s 200m Individual Medley ahead of English rival Tom Dean. Touching first in a new Games record, Scott took his fifth medal of these Games and his 12th overall to cement his place in history. There was more to come however as he teamed up with Craig McNally, Ross Murdoch and 18 year old Evan Jones for bronze in the Men’s 4 x 100m Medley Relay.
In the final day of the Judo competition Sarah Adlington made history in the Women’s +78kg category as the first ever Scottish judo player to win two Commonwealth Games gold medals, defeating Dianah Kana of Kenya in the final to take Birmingham 2022 gold in a repeat her first from Glasgow 2014.
Rachel Tytler made light work of a bronze medal match in the -78kg weight category. Tytler threw her opponent, Coralie Godbout from Canada, to win by an ippon in only 30 seconds to earn the bronze medal.
Andrew McWatt did well to earn a place in the bronze medal match following his late call up to the team to replace Chris Sherrington, but fell just short of a medal.
Rosemary Lenton and Pauline Wilson put in a tremendous performance to win gold in the Women’s Para Pairs B6-B8, dominating to take victory after a close start. It was a 17-5 victory over Australia’s Cheryl Lindfield and Serena Bonnell for the Scots and, at 72, Lenton becomes the oldest gold medallist for Team Scotland in the history of the Commonwealth Games.
Melanie Innes and Robert Barr remain undefeated in the Para Mixed Pairs B2/B3, winning 15-8 against Wales and will play in the semi-finals against England as the competition reaches its denouement.
Scotland’s women’s pairs lost 18-12 to Northern Ireland before losing 19-7 to England, which puts them out of the tournament. Iain McLean lost a close match to India’s Mridul Borgohain 21-19 in the men’s singles then the women’s triples lost 16-14 to Wales. Meanwhile, Scotland men’s fours lost 13-8 to Jersey.
Three emphatic Boxing quarter final wins out of three for Light Welterweight Reese Lynch, Middleweight Sam Hickey, and Light Heavyweight Sean Lazzerini means all three have guaranteed medals and will compete for a place in the finals on Saturday.
Both Gavin Rumgay and Colin Dalgleish were in fine form too, as they progressed after winning 4-0 in all their Men’s Singles matches, while Rebecca Plaistow and Lucy Elliott recorded decent wins on their Commonwealth Games debuts, just missing out on topping their respective groups, and will have further chances in the doubles.
There were also wins for Badminton’s Callum Smith; Ciara Torrance and Julie MacPherson; and Chris Grimley and Eleanor O’Donnell versus the Falklands and Maldives. The Netball team claimed its first win of these Games too when they defeated Barbados 72-28.
Despite acquitting themselves incredibly well, both Charlie Aldridge and Isla Short came agonisingly close to Commonwealth Games medals as the XC Mountain Bike races took place at Cannock Chase. Short pressed the pace for long periods to true and shake her rivals, but in the end they proved too strong, moving clear as the diminutive figure from Peebles eventually finished fourth as World Champion Evie Richards of England went clear on lap two of seven to take an impressive victory.
In the men’s race there was further heartbreak for Charlie Aldridge, who after attacking his rivals and looking on course to win a bronze medal, came off on a corner on the small, grassy finish circuit, ripping his rear derailleur clean off his bike.
Georgia Adderley and Rory Stewart were on top form in their opening Mixed Doubles Squash match of Birmingham 2022. The first game ended 11-3 before the 11-6 second game gave the Scots a 2-0 victory.
Scotland women’s hockey team lost their final pool match 2-0 to Australia. A competitive opening quarter ended 0-0 with Scotland matching the Hockey World Cup bronze medallists every step of the way. Australia found the net in the second quarter with the first real chance of the game, but Scotland continued to battle hard. The final quarter brought a second goal for Australia and a 2-0 final score.

Gold for Garry Brown and Kevin Wallace, a record-breaking bronze for Alex Marshall and Paul Foster, plus an emotional bronze in the pool for Ross Murdoch were the Scottish highlights on Day Five at Birmingham 2022.
Kevin Wallace and Garry Brown celebrated with gusto as they won the gold medal in the Men’s Para Lawn Bowls B6-B8 Pairs final against Australia. It was a blistering performance that saw the Scots duo take charge from the outset and win the match 16-7. Both have previous Games experience: Wallace at Glasgow 2014 and Brown at Gold Coast 2018 and have been in exceptional form throughout the tournament. They kept that momentum to land on the top step of the podium and take Team Scotland’s third gold of the Games.
Earlier Alex Marshall and Paul Foster had won the bronze medal in the Men’s Pairs, running out comfortable winners over Northern Ireland, 25-5. Scotland dominated from the third end and the teams shook hands after the fourteenth end to give Scotland the victory. Marshall, having sat level on five gold and one silver with cyclist Neil Fachie after the latter’s exploits earlier this week in the velodrome, now claims back the mantle of most successful Team Scotland athlete of all-time. Foster, with four gold, one silver and one bronze draws level with sprinter Allan Wells in third.
Foster and Marshall were back in action alongside Stewart Anderson and Darren Burnett as the Men’s Fours got underway with win against Malta. Meanwhile, Melanie Innes and Robert Barr with their guides George Miller and Sarah Jane Ewing kept their 100% win rate intact with a 16-9 win over England in the Para Mixed Pairs B2/B3. The Scots remain at the top of their group and will play Wales tomorrow.
Iain McLean also got started in the Men’s Singles with a 21-5 victory over Chris Locke of the Falkland Islands while Claire Johnston and Hannah Smith in the women’s pairs got off to a winning start over Fiji. It was an opening day flyer for the Women’s Triples with a comprehensive 25-5 win over Botswana, but lost to the Cook Islands 24-13.
Over at the Sandwell Aquatics Centre there was a second bronze medal of the Games for Ross Murdoch in the 50m Breaststroke, and barely a dry eye in the house after an outstanding swim from the Scot who was in lane 8. Competing at his fourth Commonwealth Games, Craig McNally finished 7th in the 200m Backstroke. Keanna MacInnes was quick out of the blocks in the 200m Butterfly as she finished 7th in a fast final. There was also an 8th place in the Women’s 100m Breaststroke for Kara Hanlon.
Fourth place for Toni Shaw in the SM10 200m Individual Medley was an impressive feat, swimming a category above her usual classification, while Commonwealth Games debutant, Ollie Carter entered the field of play proudly donning his parade kilt, finishing 7th in his S10 100m Butterfly final.
To round off the evening it was a first outing for the Mixed 4x100m Medley Relay team featuring Craig McNally, Ross Murdoch, Keanna MacInnes and Lucy Hope – who took 6th, recording a Scottish record in the process.
On the first day of athletics competition, Kirsty Law finished in 7th place in the Women’s Discus final, this was the health assistant’s second Games, bettering her result from 11th at Glasgow 2014. Andy Butchart ran a gutsy 10,000m in front of packed and very loud crowd, finishing in 7th place.
Adam Thomas had the biggest grin on his face as he was the first Scot to take to the athletics track, qualifying comfortably with 10.30 for the men’s 100m semi-final this morning. Alisha Rees had a fast 100m heat and had the agonising wait before confirmation that her time of 11.36 was enough to take her through as the fastest non-automatic qualifier.
Nick Percy, the Scottish record holder, qualified comfortably in the Men’s Discus throwing over 60m. Laura Muir qualified for the women’s 800m final in second place, but it wasn’t to be for the other two Scots. Commonwealth Games debutant Jenny Selman picked up a niggle earlier on in the week and she ran a gutsy 800m with a stacked field but it wasn’t enough to qualify. Unfortunately, Jemma Reekie also did not qualify, finishing a frustrating third in her heat, but she will go again in the women’s 1500m.
At the NEC, Agata Herbert kicked-off day five for Team Scotland with an admirable Commonwealth Games debut where she lifted a total of 199kg in the Women’s 76kg final and finished in 7th place overall. Matty McHale then faced a confident opponent from Barbados in the Men’s Bantamweight Boxing round of 16, but the Edinburgh fighter edged a split decision after knocking him down in the third. An outstanding first round stoppage of Jamaica’s Daniel Hylton followed, with Tyler Jolly landing a devastating body blow within seconds. Despite an exceptional second quarter, Scotland’s Netball team couldn’t match the quality of their classy Jamaican opponents, and a third Pool Match at these Games ended 34-78.
It was the last of the action for Artistic Gymnastics today as the second day of apparatus finals got underway in Arena Birmingham. Both Hamish Carter and Frank Baines were competing on the Horizontal Bar, having qualified in seventh and eighth place, respectively. Hamish finished in sixth place with 12.433 points, and Frank in eighth with 11.9 points.
Both sides of Smithfield saw Scottish action today as there were bronze medal matches for both the Men’s and Women’s Wheelchair 3×3 Basketball teams. The Men’s game against Canada kept spectators on the edges of their seats with the North Americans taking the lead in the first two minutes, and Scotland five points behind at the halfway mark. A nail-biting two free throws in the last 40 seconds meant Kyle Jimenez brought the scores almost level but Canada stayed just that one point ahead and the Scots lost 12-13 to end the competition in fourth place, replicating their Gold Coast 2018 standing.
Shortly after the Men left the court, the Women’s Wheelchair team tipped off against England. It was tit for tat in the first half as the teams stayed level, but the hosts took the lead in the sixth minute and didn’t let it go. Despite two points in quick succession in the seventh minute and four missed free throws for England with single digits on the clock, Scotland couldn’t quite make up the gap and ended with a 12-10 loss. They finished fourth, an admirable spot for the team in this para-sport’s first appearance at a Commonwealth Games.
On the other side of the Smithfield compound, the Women’s Beach Volleyball team was also playing against England on the sand. The sets were tightly contested between both teams, but a few too many errors on Scotland’s side meant the hosts took a 2-0 win (21-17, 21-15). The women will be back in action against Solomon Islands on Thursday.
Only one competitor was in action in Judo, with Billy Rodman unfortunately exiting the Men’s -78kg competition in the round of 16.
