CG2014: Day Eight

It's the Golden Girl herself - the awesome Blessing Okagbare of Nigeria, doing her lap of honour around Hampden after winning Gold in the 200m women's final at CG2014. This was her second Gold and she was amazing to watch - such strength.

A fantastic day soaking up the atmosphere in Glasgow - including the Merchant City Festival and Glasgow Green, where, I'm thrilled to say, the visitors keep flocking to our installation.

I've said it before - and will no doubt again - but my staff and volunteer team are doing such an outstanding job. So proud of them.

The evening at the athletics was great fun - electric atmosphere and such respect shown for the dedication and effort of all the athletes by the crowd.

It was a special thrill to see Samantha Kinghorn compete in the T54 1500 - Sam is a Young Scot Award Winner so extra loud cheering for her!!
