I was a flag-bearer for Team Scotland.<\/p>\n [Apart from] stepping away with a medal today, and hearing Flower of Scotland, what more could you ask for, really?

Others believed he might be vulnerable in a last-lap sprint. So much for all that. He destroyed them all.<\/p>\n In fact, the 28-year-old Scot was so far in front before the end he even had time to smile and gesture excitedly to those roaring him on in the main stand.<\/p>\n Share<\/a> \u201cI couldn\u2019t switch off because it\u2019s been a real rollercoaster of a week,\u201d Adam Ramsay-Peaty says with a weary smile on a quiet Thursday morning in Glasgow. He has just endured a rough night in which, after winning his third medal of the Commonwealth Games<\/a>, he managed less than three hours of sleep. The medals consist of bronze in the 100m<\/a> and 50m breaststroke<\/a> and a silver in the men\u2019s 4x100m medley<\/a>. For most swimmers this would constitute success and satisfaction, but Ramsay-Peaty is different.<\/p>\n The fact that none of his three medals are gold, or attached to anything remotely like the kind of supreme performance that Ramsay-Peaty churned out with an aura of invincibility for eight years, has taken a chunk out of the double Olympic champion. There have been tears of frustration<\/a> and an admission that \u201cnothing makes sense this week\u201d.<\/p>\n Ramsay-Peaty also sent out a fiery message to his tormentors<\/a> in the tabloid press, and on social media, to stress that \u201cyou can\u2019t hurt me\u201d before urging an end to the excessive intrusion into his private life: \u201cIt has to stop. How many athletes have to go through this until the media learn their lesson?\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Day nine at the GamesShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a005.18 EDT<\/p>\n Preamble<\/p>\n Hello and welcome to live coverage of the final day of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. The city is still high on Josh Kerr\u2019s glorious victory last night<\/a>, and for the spectator, today has the feel of a slow, steady comedown. There are still 15 gold medals up for grabs, including the netball final between New Zealand and Jamaica and several cycling events.<\/p>\n For now our focus is on netball bronze, which is heading Australia\u2019s way. They lead England 49-36 at the end of the third quarter.<\/p>\n![\"Jack](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1785667689_963_Jack_Snape.png\")
