To All the Shooting Athletes
What fantastic results – 9 Medals, 4 Gold, 3 Silver and 2 Bronze.
Delhi is our 11th Commonwealth Games for shooting and never before has Scotland (shooting) won so many medals!
Well done to all of you competing athletes, this is the most amazing result that Scottish Shooting has had since we started competing in the Commonwealth Games.
It is right that we make a big deal when our athletes win. It is because they represent everything that is good and positive about encouragement, self-belief, participation and most of all about our sport.
Our athletes have won, because they have tested themselves and proved they can do it. They have raised their game, in doing so, raised the expectations, and earned the admiration and respect of all of us.
This is a proud moment for the Scottish Target Shooting Federation. It is an even prouder moment for each of the athletes concerned. We celebrate too their Coaches, Team mates, Team Manager, family and friends who have supported and encouraged the athletes.
Congratulations to Jen McIntosh for not only winning her medals but making a new Games Record, Jonathan Hammond, Neil Stirton, Angus McLeod, Ian Shaw, Shona Marshall and Kay Copland, well done all.
Your success stories and photos are in the national tabloid papers and I believe that is a first, also quite some coverage being shown on the BBC Sport website on iPlayer which is also very positive.
We are really delighted for the medal winners and very proud of all the competitors. Some really good results for most of you and quite a few very close calls, despite not winning a medal!
Enjoy the rest of your visit.
