Callum Hawkins leaves hospital
The Elderslie runner has recovered from his collapse in the marathon in Gold Coast.
Scottish long-distance runner Callum Hawkins has been discharged from hospital after collapsing leading the Commonwealth Games marathon on Sunday with just a mile-and-a-half to go.
The 25-year-old from Elderslie in Renfrewshire gave a thumbs up after his overnight stay and said: "I'd like to say a huge thanks to all the medical staff at Gold Coast University Hospital for their care over the last 24 hours - and it's great to now be back with my teammates.''
There was an initial delay in Hawkins receiving treatment as he struggled against the 27C (80F) heat - something the organising committee has defended - before he was taken to hospital in an ambulance.
Hawkins was going for his first major title, having come fourth in the World Championships last year.
He had a lead of around two minutes before he fell with Australia's Michael Shelley passing him and winning the race, Scotland's Robbie Simpson won bronze.
A Team Scotland statement read: "Team Scotland is pleased to confirm Callum Hawkins has been discharged from Gold Coast University Hospital today and has been reunited with his teammates in the Commonwealth Games Village, ahead of the team's return to the UK.
"We would like to thank all the supporters and well-wishers for their kind messages of support and the care and concern that has been shown, particularly here on the Gold Coast. "
