The youngest ever medallist at the Commonwealth Games has revealed that encouragement from home supporters in Glasgow pushed her on for a bronze medal.
Scotland's Erraid Davies, 13, made history by finishing third in the women's Para-sport 100m breaststroke SB9 final last night.
"I could hear the crowd in the last 25m. I think it spurred me on an awful lot," Davies told STV. "It was a five-second personal best overall. I got four-second in the heat and then went a second faster in the final."
She added: "I was just so happy. I did not expect it at all. I started swimming when I was four because my doctor told me it would be good for my hip, and I just kind of love it."
Sophie Pascoe won the race with a time of 1:19.36.
