Team Scotland athletes gathered in no fewer than seven medals in the athletics and Para athletics programme at Scotstoun.
It amounts to a highly successful Glasgow 2026 for athletes, coaches and scottishathletics, who select, lead and facilitate the team for Team Scotland.
From managing a long and robust selection policy and qualifcation process to a training camp at Grangemouth and a large media and comms commitment, we were right behind athletes and coaches.
