Duncan Scott wins 2 medals in one night at Glasgow 2018
The Scottish freestyler tells us about the incredible atmosphere at Tollcross
Duncan Scott won two medals as Great Britain enjoyed a brilliant Sunday night in the pool at the European Championships in Glasgow.
The 21 year old won a gold medal as part of the mens 4 x 200m relay team alongside Calum Jarvis, Thomas Dean and James Guy after taking a silver medal in an incredibly close 100m Freestyle final.
"It was really good", he told us. "In the 100m free, it was really good to progress with each round and to top it off with the 4 x 200m was amazing.''
"You can sense the atmosphere and feel the noise, if that's possible. Walking out was incredible with the crowd behind us.
"The atmosphere has been great over the last couple of nights and it's great that the crowd is getting behind the British athletes, it's been amazing and we have had another really good night of swimming for Team GB.
"Last night (Saturday) we had some unbelievable swims and to back that up with this was really good.''
Georgia Davies clinched the women's 50metre backstroke title pipping Anastasiia Fesikova by 0.08 seconds in the backstroke on her return to the Glasgow pool where she won Commonwealth gold four years ago and she has put her victory down to experience.
She said: "I have so many fond memories from here, I think it's all the home comforts and the home crowds.
"I didn't mind about the time tonight, I just wanted to win and I'm so pleased I managed to.
"Mentally I'm becoming more calm and relaxed when it comes to racing and trying to enjoy myself more.
"I still get nervous when I race, but I used to let those nerves hinder my performance and now I'm trying my hardest not to, and I think that has come with age.''
Today Ross Murdoch will defend his 200m breaststroke title. He qualified faster than Team GB's James Wilby who denied him a place in the 100m semi-finals under the rule that only two swimmers from each nation can progress from the heats.
