Scott picked up six total medals, including a gold in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/scott-duncan-claims-100-free-title-at-commonwealth-games\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">100 free<\/a>\u00a0to upset Australian Olympic Champion\u00a0<strong>Kyle Chalmers\u00a0<\/strong>swimming in front of the pro-Aussie crowd.<\/p>\n<p>Scott also won a silver in the 200 IM and a bronze in the 200 free and 200 fly. He picked up two bronzes in the free relays for Team Scotland. He was Scotland&#8217;s most decorated athlete at any Commonwealth Games.<\/p>\n<p>Scott joins the likes of swimmers\u00a0<strong>Gregor Tait\u00a0<\/strong>(2006) and\u00a0<strong>Alison Sheppard\u00a0<\/strong>(2002) as flag bearers for Scotland at the Closing Ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about his selection, Duncan said: \u201cTo be flag bearer is a complete honour. It\u2019s something we speak about as swimmers, and I\u2019m just immensely proud. It\u2019s not something that many people get the chance to do, it\u2019s only a select few, two people per Games. To be selected for that is an absolute honour. It\u2019s the most medals we\u2019ve ever won at an overseas Games so to lead the team out to close it is just incredible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m delighted with how I\u2019ve performed up against the best in the world. It\u2019s been great to show just how much quality we have in Scottish Swimming. We had so many amazing performances, including some that haven\u2019t been shown on the medal table. To be named flag bearer and to represent swimming and Team Scotland is really special.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"oembed-wrap\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Flag bearer for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Team_Scotland?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Team_Scotland<\/a> tonight!! \ud83c\udff4\udb40\udc67\udb40\udc62\udb40\udc73\udb40\udc63\udb40\udc74\udb40\udc7f\ud83c\udff4\udb40\udc67\udb40\udc62\udb40\udc73\udb40\udc63\udb40\udc74\udb40\udc7f what an honour \ud83c\udff4\udb40\udc67\udb40\udc62\udb40\udc73\udb40\udc63\udb40\udc74\udb40\udc7f\ud83c\udff4\udb40\udc67\udb40\udc62\udb40\udc73\udb40\udc63\udb40\udc74\udb40\udc7f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nduH7V8icG\">https:\/\/t.co\/nduH7V8icG<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Duncan Scott MBE (@Dunks_Scott) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Dunks_Scott\/status\/985384524740608002?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 15, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p><em>Team Scotland\u00a0<\/em><em>contributed to this report.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>20-year-old\u00a0Duncan Scott\u00a0of Scotland was selected by Scottish team management to be the flag bearer for the Closing Ceremony at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
