Bronze medalist James Heatly of Scotland poses during the medal ceremony for the Men's 1m Springboard Diving Final
James Heatly has won Scotland’s 31st medal of the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, claiming bronze in the Men’s 1m Springboard.
Heatly, 20, becomes Scotland’s first Commonwealth diving medallist since his late grandfather, Sir Peter Heatly, won gold in Cardiff 60 years ago.
Mike Whittingham, sportscotland Director of High Performance, said: “Congratulations to James on a fantastic performance and his bronze medal win.
“We are seeing something quite special from Team Scotland athletes out in Gold Coast and this is another moment for the nation to be proud of.
“His success is also a reflection of the current strength of diving in Scotland at all levels, thanks in part, to recent investment in diving infrastructure including the Royal Commonwealth Pool and the Aberdeen Sports Village.”
