The previous evening\u2019s atmosphere, when Duncan Scott won the men\u2019s 200m individual medley, was not repeated on Saturday, although there were positive performances across the programme.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest cheer came as Angharad Evans won the second semi-final of the women\u2019s 100m breaststroke. The 23-year-old booked a place in Sunday\u2019s final with the fastest time. The final is scheduled for 19:20 BST.<\/p>\n<p>An hour later, Katie Shanahan will contest the women\u2019s 100m backstroke final after placing fourth in her semi-final. Shanahan is seeking a second medal after taking silver in the 200m backstroke on Friday. She later swam in Scotland\u2019s 4x100m mixed relay team, which finished fifth but set a new Scottish record.<\/p>\n<p>Scott also competed in the relay, swimming second after Evan Jones and before Evie Davies. Scotland\u2019s team could not match a stronger field. Elsewhere, Sean McCann finished eighth in the men\u2019s 400m freestyle final, Lucy Grieve placed seventh in the women\u2019s 50m butterfly final, and Matthew Ward finished seventh in the men\u2019s 50m backstroke final after breaking the Scottish record.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arabic version: \u0627\u0633\u0643\u062a\u0644\u0646\u062f\u0627 \u062a\u062d\u062c\u0632 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0632\u064a\u062f \u0645\u0646 \u0645\u0642\u0627\u0639\u062f \u0646\u0647\u0627\u0626\u064a\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0628\u0627\u062d\u0629 \u0641\u064a \u063a\u0644\u0627\u0633\u0643\u0648 2026 According to BBC News, Scotland did&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1111508,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5009],"tags":[748,18527,77258,4884,712,10649,128999,16,15],"class_list":["post-1111507","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-scotland","tag-britain","tag-commonwealth-games","tag-glasgow-2026","tag-great-britain","tag-scotland","tag-swimming","tag-team-scotland","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116983864057656755","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1111507","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1111507"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1111507\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1111508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1111507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1111507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1111507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
