Medal For Scottish Para-Cycling Duo
Aileen McGlynn and Louise Haston won silver in the women's sprint B2 tandem at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome.
The Commonwealth Games host nation has been celebrating its first medal after Aileen McGlynn and Louise Haston won silver in para-cycling.
The pair came second in the women's sprint B2 tandem at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome.
The race was won by Sophie Thornhill and pilot Helen Scott who picked up England's first Commonwealth Games track gold after beating the Scottish pair 2-0 in a best-of-three final.
One of Great Britain's most successful Paralympians, McGlynn has brought home medals from the past three Paralympic Games.
The cyclist, who has a visual impairment, won a gold medal at Athens in 2004, and two golds at Beijing in 2008.
At London 2012, she competed with new tandem pilot Helen Scott. They won silver in the B 1km Time Trial and bronze in the B Pursuit.
In 2009 she was awarded an OBE for services to disability sport.
Mike Whittingham, director of high performance at the sportscotland institute of sport, said: “I am delighted that Aileen McGlynn and Louise Haston have secured Team Scotland's first medals at these Games. It is an excellent start to what promises to be the best ever Games for Team Scotland.
“I am also very proud that Louise came through sportscotland's Gold4Glasgow programme, aimed at identifying individuals with the talent and commitment to represent Scotland in Glasgow.
“Our faith has been justified and Aileen and Louise have done Scotland proud by winning silver.”
