Commonwealth Games 2026: Cammy surprises herself by joining Reuben Ward on Scotland’s Lynn Pommel podium


That leaves Scotland in the silver and bronze positions, but Northern Ireland’s Olympic champion Rhys McClenaghan and Australia’s Ritam Malik are yet to go. Surely at least one Scot is going to be disappointed? And Lynn was most likely.

“I mean, it’s Rhys McClenaghan, isn’t it? He’s the Olympic champion,” Lynn told BBC Sport Scotland. “So, when he’s stepping up, I’m just buzzing that I scored 13.8 and I don’t think too much beyond that.

“I mean, the guy’s an Olympic champion. And Ritam’s an amazing gymnast too, so I was just thinking ‘Oh, a little top-five finish might be nice’.”

A few minutes later, Lynn had more of it – even after the Northern Irish team lodged an ultimately pointless protest against McClenaghan’s sign.

And no one was happier for him than his pal Ward, who could be forgiven for ruining his senses after 24 hours.

a gold medal. He paid more attention than ever. Depression Then returned here on Monday for the floor event, which saw him tear his face off the floor while attempting an ambitious dismount.

The 21-year-old’s pommel routine was very impressive afterwards, though, as it fell 0.34 points shy of Carroll’s stunning effort.

“I was expecting to stay up really late last night, but I was just dry,” Ward told BBC Sport Scotland. “I was going through a lot of emotions and I was very tired.

“I woke up in the morning and thought ‘today’s a new day’. I really went for it on the floor and just missed, then went to the pommel and thought, ‘I’ve got to give it my all’.”

“And to get two out of three on the podium for Scotland and to do it with one of my best friends is a feeling I can’t describe.”
