Athletes Nominated For Commonwealth Games Selection To Team Scotland; No Kathleen Dawson

Thirty-three swimmers, divers and para-swimmers have been nominated for selection to Team Scotland at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England, in July and August.

Six-time Olympic medallist Duncan Scott is the standout name but Kathleen Dawson – preselected alongside her fellow Olympic relay champion in December 2021 – is a notable absence. Scott recently set a British record in the 400 IM.

Dawson led off the British 4x100m mixed medley which won gold in Tokyo months after she became European 100m backstroke champion and record holder.

The University of Stirling athlete was beset by a bulging disk before the Olympics, which caused extreme nerve pain in her leg, and it continued to trouble her following Tokyo.

Swimming World has reached out to British Swimming for comment given the World Championships in Budapest in June precede the Commonwealth Games which run from 28 July-8 August.

The athletes nominated to Commonwealth Games Scotland (CGS) are a mixture of youth and experience including 2014 200br champion Ross Murdoch, Katie Shanahan and Evelyn Davis.
