Team Scotland name strong Para selection for Glasgow (May)<\/a><\/p>\n Para track duo Owen Miller<\/strong> and Alexander Thomson<\/strong> are relishing the prospect of racing for Team Scotland<\/strong> at a packed Scotstoun.<\/p>\n Fife AC endurance runner Owen won the Paralympic T20 title in 2021 but his Tokyo experience was impacted by Covid restrictions and a near-empty stadium.<\/p>\n Sprinter Alexander for his part is a VP-Glasgow athlete so Scotstoun is even more of a\u00a0 home Games and, as well as the paying customers, he expects the Commonwealth Games volunteers to take time out from their duties to cheer on Team Scotland athletes.<\/p>\n \u2018It feels really good to be picked for Scotland for my first Commonwealth Games after a number of years in athletics,\u2019 said Owen.<\/p>\n \u2018I just want to get on the start-line in Glasgow and do my best for my family who will be there watching.\u00a0My mum and my gran have tickets and will be there to cheer me on.<\/p>\n \u2018I like the idea of a full stadium because when I was at the Paralympics in Tokyo it was Covid and we just did not have the same crowd experience as we will have this year.\u00a0I am enjoying the hype rising for the Games.\u2019<\/p>\n Team Scotland will have three entrants in the T20 1500m as Owen joins current Paralympic champion Ben Sandilands<\/strong> and a third Fife AC athlete, Steven Bryce.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2018We all train together and are all in the same race. It\u2019s great for the coach (Steve Doig<\/strong>) and the group.\u2019<\/p>\n Para power! Gold for Owen in Japan (September 2021)<\/a><\/p>\n
