Bronze For Schoolgirl Davies

Published 27th Jul 2014

Shetland schoolgirl Erraid Davies won a bronze medal in the women's 100m breaststroke SB9 final at Glasgow 2014 after the 13-year-old set a new personal best for the second time in a day. Scotland's youngest-ever Comonwealth Games competitor had come second in the heat on Sunday morning and fought her way into the medal positions in the last quarter of the final. Roared on by the Tollcross crowd, she finished just behind Australian silver medallist Madeleine Scott in one minute and 21.38 seconds, with New Zealand's Sophie Pascoe taking gold. Hannah Miley added the bronze to her gold in the 400m race, finishing just ahead of England's Aimee Willmott again.
