The 2024 year has seen Scottish athletes compete successfully on the international stage across all disciplines.
Josh Kerr won gold at the World Indoor Championships with Jemma Reekie taking silver.
At the European Off-Road Championships, there were silver medals for brother & sister Jacob & Scout Adkin, with team golds won by both, along with Naomi Lang.
The highlight of the 2024 track & field year was the Olympic Games, with Josh Kerr winning a silver medal in the 1500 metres and Nicole Yeargin gaining 2 bronze medals in the relays.
At the Paralympic Games, Samantha Kinghorn won gold in the T53 100 metres and added a remarkable 4 silver medals and Ben Sandilands won the T20 1500 metres in world record time.
There have now been 219 medals won by Scottish athletes in mainstream track and field competition at World, European and Commonwealth level. Eilidh Doyle leads the medal table with 17 medals, now 4 ahead of the next most-decorated athlete, Laura Muir with 13.
When we include all the other disciplines of cross country, road running, hill running, ultra- distance and para athletics, Scottish athletes have won 464 medals on the international stage; and that’s before we start to include medals won as team members of Scotland and Great Britain teams.
All of these medallists, including those who have won team medals, are recognised in the accompanying Roll of Honour Booklet prepared as part of the scottishathletics history collection which is being developed on this website.
