The grit & determination of McColgan Jnr tonight was incredible and should be an inspiration to all young athletes . 🤩 Aye, her mother, at that time, was an iconic figure, and still, in these parts, a local celebrity. What an achievement for a mother and daughter to win a gold medal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rascal Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 Watching the games coverage. Great high jumping by the women competitors using the Fosbury Flop. It looks impossible to me! Anyone used it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best OUTSIDE a games held in Scotland. The 46 medals won so far are comprised of 11 gold, 10 silver, and 25 bronze. That takes Scotland past the 44 earned in Gold Coast four years ago, which was the highest return apart from Glasgow 2014, where the team took 53, including 19 golds.
