Congratulations Chris - superb achievement and maybe another one to come later in the week.

And not forgetting Ross Edgar who won silver and has represented Scotland in the last 2 Comonwealth games (qualifying through Scottish parentage)

Is this the first time in history that 2 Scots in the same event have won both Gold and Silver - absolutely superb :mrgreen:
If, after all, men cannot always make history have meaning, they can always act so that their own lives have one.
