If Eilish McColgan emulates motherLizby winning a medal at a home Commonwealth Games, therewon’t bea moreromanticstory told overthe11 days of competition.But, as CourierSports EditorEric Nicolson discovered in an interview with theCarnoustiesteeplechaser, lining up on theHampden Parktrackis an achievement in itself.

C O M M O N W E A LT H G A M E S competitors from Kuala Lumpur to Cambuslang will have been counting down to Glasgow 2014 like children tearing doors off an advent calendar.

For Eilish McColgan though, the days have been crossed off all too quickly.

It’s not that the Dundee Hawkhill Harrier has got all blasé about a home Games.

The exact opposite. Wednesday July 30 at Hampden Park will be a career highlight for McColgan. Possibly, the career highlight.

It’s more the fact that the middle distance runner lost four months to a mystery illness earlier this year, and because of it, the 3,000m steeplechase will come at least a month too soon for her to be in peak condition.

In fact, McColgan admitted that had it not been for one particular evening in the south side of Glasgow, she may already have been turning her thoughts to the 2015 season. “ E v e r y b o d y ’s been counting down to the Games,” said the 23-year-old. “If they’d been somewhere else I might have backed off a bit and just tried to get back running August, September time and concentrate on preparation for the Worlds next year.

“But with it being in Glasgow that’s not an option. It’s something I’ve wanted to be a part of since the bid was won.”

McColgan is no stranger to injury, having had her career put in jeopardy by a fractured foot. But illness has proved an even more frustrating experience than broken bones.

She explained: “I got some sort of virus in my blood when I was in Kenya at the start of the year for a training camp. It really knocked me back.

“It was up and down. I would feel fine for a couple of days, then be unwell again. The

doctors couldn’t diagnose what it actually was. In a way I’d rather have been injured because that’s easier to deal with.You know how long it should take to come back and what you need to do.

“With illness and being so fatigued, there was nothing I could do.

“I must have had 100 blood tests. It was non-stop. Fortunately now my blood tests show everything is where it should be and I’ve been able to crack on with training.

“Until June I hadn’t raced since September, which was a big jump. Usually I would have had an indoor season and early races in April and May, but I couldn’t do that. In May I was really down and struggling.

“I’ve been playing catch-up.

My mum (Liz McColganNuttall) and I, and my physio, have changed so many things over the last few months.

It’s been a bit of trial and error really. Everybody’s worked really hard to get me back and I’m really grateful to them for putting up with me!

“I’ll be proud when I stand on the track because I’ll know how hard it has been to get there. It might not be at the level I’d hoped to be at but I’ve done everything I can.

“I’m improving all the time, which excites me. I’ve been running out of days. If it had been postponed for a month it would have suited me more. You can’t stop time unfortunately.”

In the middle of McColgan’s illness Liz relocated to Qatar. The coach and pupil relationship of mother and daughter has not been straightforward since.

“It’s been made even more difficult for my mum in Doha,” McColgan pointed out.

“She can’t see how I am. It’s made me a bit more attentive because I need to give

her more details that I wouldn’t think about.”

Being the daughter of arguably Scotland most successful ever athlete has never fazed McColgan jnr, even when she decided to follow in her spike marks and pursue a career in athletics.

The iconic images of Liz (then Lynch) winning Commonwealth gold at Meadowbank stadium back in 1986, and the vivid memories Scots of a certain age have of that day, have meant that the comparisons with mum have been spoken and written about more than ever in the build-up to Glasgow.

Eilish certainly appreciates the romance of the story.

“It’s a nice thing,” she said.

“People loved how my mum ran. It’s always so positive when people speak about her to me.You do realise it more when you come home to Scotland.

“I always get people coming up to me and say they used to watch mum running. A lot of them are shocked that I’m 23 because they remember it being in the papers when I was born.

“It does amaze me because athletics isn’t a high profile sport, but just by speaking to people you get an idea of how many people watched mum race that day and still remember it.

“I don’t feel like it’s added pressure on me though.

“People outside the sport will maybe see the name and think ‘her mum won gold so she should win it’. But I don’t let that bother me.

“Regardless of how I perform this will be something I’ll always remember.”

It might actually be Liz who comes over all sentimental during the Games.

“I think she’ll be emotional with it,” Eilish admitted. “She was OK at the Olympics but there weren’t many expectations on me.

She’ll want me to do well and she knows what I can do.

“It will bring back memories for her, plus she knows how difficult the last year has been for me. She’ll be proud to be there and be part of it with me.

“She says to this day that Meadowbank washerstand-outmoment—hearingpeople shout out her name and waving all the flags.

I’m sure memories will come flooding back.”

In many events, both in track and field and other sports, the Commonwealth Games standard is a greatly watered down version of the Olympics, World Championships or even European.

Eilish is one of the unlucky ones though.

“People think that the Commonwealth

Games are third tier,” she pointed out. “But I keep trying to explain to people that it isn’t like that in my event.

They think that’ll be easy, you should win that! But, in reality, it will be just as hard.

“I’m ranked fourth behind three Kenyans. First and second at the Olympics and at the Worlds are in my race.

“Winning it is out with my realms, but I’d like to think I’ve got a chance of contending for a medal.

“I was 10th in the world last year, but the top eight wereAfrican.

“In other events if the Americans aren’t there it makes a big difference.

“It won’t be flat out from the very start though. It’s not like a Diamond League race where they’re trying to win money by beating records and getting bonuses.

Glasgow will be all about racing.

“If you look back, times have been really slow at past Games. I’m very happy to be healthy, with all the complications I’ve had, and hopefully I can get near my personal best and be in amongst the race.”

The Games will feel like a graduation for a core of Team Scotland track and field athletes, who have come through the ranks together.

McColgan explained: “There are a few of us who have grown up in athletics together from the 2008 Youth Olympics — myself, Chris O’Hare, Lynsey Sharp, Myra Perkins.

There aren’t many athletes who make the transition from junior to senior, so to get so many at Glasgow is an achievement in itself.

“There were loads of us in Team GB. There’s only 58 of us in the Scottish team.

We support our own in Scotland. I think the publicwillbemoreawareofwhotheathletes are and look out for them.

“To be a Scottish athlete in a Scottish stadium in front of a Scottish crowd is something I don’t want to miss out on.

“My family never usually get to watch me because my big races are abroad. My little sister, my three brothers, my dad, my uncle and my cousins — they’ve all managed to get tickets for my night.

“My brothers and sister have never seen me compete before.

“I was so happy when I finished 10th in the Worlds last year. It was the best moment of my career so far, but I was in Russia and there was nobody in the crowd.

“I’ve tried not to think about it too much, but I know it will be special to have so many people wanting me to do well.”

Chance to shine

Glasgow2014

In a few days, Scotland will host the Commonwealth Games for the third time since the event began in 1930. and this time, the country’s largest city, Glasgow, will be given the chance to shine.

On the previous two occasions, athletes descended on Edinburgh in 1970 and 1986 for what would be two vastly differing experiences on Scottish soil.

Scotland’s capital city beat Christchurch in new Zealand to be the host city in 1970 in what would be a Games of many firsts. as well as taking place in Scotland for the first time, metric units, rather than imperial units, made their debut, while electronic photo-finish technology was employed for the first time too.

In what was the ninth Games, it was also the first time the Queen attended in

her capacity as head of the Commonwealth and that the name ‘the British Commonwealth Games’ was used.

The multi-sport event was initially known as the British Empire Games, then the British Empire and Commonwealth Games and was given its current title of the Commonwealth Games in 1978. a total of 42 nations took part in 121 events in nine sports between July 16-25, with Scotland ranking fourth in the medals table.

The host nation claimed 25 medals overall – six gold, eight silver and 11 bronze. Highlights included Ian Stewart’s gold in the 5,000 metres, with his brother Peter coming fourth in the same race.

Lachie Stewart (no relation) also sealed an impressive win for the Scots in the 10,000 metres, when he beat off strong competition from the favourite,

australian Ron Clarke.

The Games were hailed as a success and Edinburgh became the first city to stage the event twice when they were again awarded host status in 1986.

But, 16 years on, it was set to be a very different experience.

Dubbed ‘The Boycott Games’, the occasion will unfortunately be best remembered for a large political boycott that was the result of the Thatcher government’s position on apartheid.

The stance on British sporting links with an apartheid-era South africa at that time led to 32 of the 59 countries eligible to take part boycotting the Games, with mainly african, asian and Caribbean states putting on a no-show.

From July 24 to august 2, 26 nations did take part — including the Maldives and norfolk Island, who made their first appearance at the Games — with

1,662 athletes participating in total.

It was the lowest number of athletes since the 1950 Games.

Lack of participation led to a number of financial issues, including a drop in the value of broadcasting rights and a drop in sponsorship.

The 1986 Games subsequently spiralled into heavy debts, which were not cleared until 1989, with the City of Edinburgh losing approximately £500,000.

There were 10 sports in the second Edinburgh edition — athletics, aquatics, badminton, boxing, cycling, lawn bowls, rowing, shooting, weightlifting and wresting.

In the lawn bowls event, Scotland’s Willie Wood was one of several participants excluded for breaking amateurism rules.

But Dundee’s Liz Lynch — later to be known as Liz McColgan – raised Scottish spirits by claiming gold in the 10,000 metres.

Her victory was one of three claimed by the Scots, who also secured 12 silver and 18 bronze prizes to rank sixth in the medal table with an overall haul of 33 medals.

In September 2004, Glasgow was announced as the Scottish candidate city over Edinburgh for the 2014 Games, despite the capital’s previous experience.

Halifax, in Canada, dropped out of the running, leaving the Scots to battle it out with the nigerian capital abuja for the honour.

The bid proved to be a success when Glasgow was confirmed as the host city in november 2007 – giving Glaswegians the opportunity to step out of the shadow of Edinburgh and enjoy their own big moment.

Medal hopefuls Laura Muir, above, and Katarina JohnsonThompson.

BY THE time Usain Bolt sets foot in Hampden Park, the track and field story of these Games will have been written.

The world’s fastest man and sixtime Olympic champion will race in the 4x100m relay, but other than being able to tell the grandchildren you saw the great man in the flesh, in sporting terms his fleeting appearance in Glasgow will be relatively insignificant.

The relay takes place on the second last day of the Games, and there will have been far more interesting medal battles fought out before it.

In fact, Bolt’s absence from the individual 100m and 200m will make for more open races, especially with his out-of-form training partner Yohan Blake skipping the Games altogether.

Bolt might not be giving Glasgow his full attention, but Mo Farah is.

Farah will bid for the triple double, looking to add Commonwealth gold over 5,000m and 10,000m to the pair of world titles he won last year and the Olympic triumphs the year before.

He is back on the track after a lessthan-successful venture into marathon running — his eighth-placed finish in London in April was not the reward he was looking for from months of hard training for his debut over 26.2 miles — but will have to make sure he is back to his best to see off the challenge of his Kenyan rivals.

Farah’s fellow, less celebrated, champion from that glorious Super Saturday night at the Olympics, long jumper Greg Rutherford, joins him in the England team and will relish another big-stadium atmosphere.

The third member of Great Britain’s golden triumvirate, and the poster girl of London 2012, heptathlete Jessica EnnisHill, will be watching on TV as she awaits the

birth of her first child, but the Games will feature the athlete billed as her successor.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson would be a worthy one too and is in pole position to take Commonwealth gold in the absence of her illustrious compatriot.

The 21-year-old from Liverpool is the world No 1 after her victory in Gotzis, the unofficial world championship, in May when she set a new personal best of 6682 points.

Despite her tender years, she has long since grown used to the EnnisHill comparisons and has the personality to cope with them, according to Neil Black, the performance director of British Athletics.

Johnson-Thompson proved she could handle pressure when she thrived at London 2012 aged just 19, but for others Glasgow offers the chance to lay some Olympic ghosts to rest.

As far as Scotland is concerned, Glasgow has the potential of being the most successful Games in a generation.

The stated aim of director of coaching Stephen Maguire is “more than two” medals.

Scotland only won two in each of the three previous Games — 400m hurdler Eilidh Child and 1,500m runner Steph Twell in Delhi; hurdlers Chris Baillie and Lee McConnell in Melbourne; and McConnell (in the flat 400) and decathlete Jamie Quarry in Manchester.

So Maguire’s isn’t playing safe with his target.

It would be a shock if former Perth Grammar School teacher Child doesn’t get another medal, and it could even be gold.

And another ex-pupil of Kinross High School, Laura Muir, has been breaking Scottish records of late and is doubling up in the 1500m and 800m.

She’ll have fellow Scot — and European champion — Lynsey Sharp for competition in the 800, and that head-to-head could be one of the highlights of the Games.

Eilish McColgan is an outside bet for a medal in the 3000m steeplechase, while Chris O’Hare and Guy Learmonth are also rapidly improving athletes.

A little sprinkling of Bolt star-dust is no bad thing, but there will be plenty to enthral on the track while we wait for him to arrive.

Like her compatriot Bolt, Fraser-Pryce will only compete in the 4x100m relay in Glasgow after exempting herself from the Jamaican trials on medical grounds.

But the sight of the world and double Olympic 100m champion storming around the Hampden Park track will give the fans great consolation.

ALICIA COUTTS (Aus)

The Australian swimming star swept the board with five gold medals in Delhi and will be aiming to repeat the feat in another hectic schedule in Glasgow.

Coutts, who also won five medals including relay gold at London 2012, is expected to face stiff competition in a high-quality freestyle line-up.

USAIN BOLT (Jam)

Bolt gave Glasgow the news it had been hoping for this month when he declared his availability for the Jamaican 4x100m relay team for the Games. Bolt’s participation in his first Commonwealth Games had been in doubt due to a foot injury, and he will not compete in either of the individual sprint events.

DAVID RUDISHA (Ken)

The Kenyan Olympic and world 800m champion will be one of the big attractions in Glasgow and he has declared his intention to aim for a double of both 800m and 4x400m relay gold. Rudisha is recovering from a long injury lay-off after becoming the first man to break one minute 41 seconds at London 2012.

PINKA JANGRA (Ind)

NICOL DAVID (Mal)

The all-conquering Malaysian squash great will return to defend the title she won in Delhi but despite winning seven World Open titles she has a point to prove after falling in this year’s world semi-finals. Her main rival will be England’s Laura Massaro, the reigning world champion.

ANNA MEARES (Aus)

Olympic champion and four-time Commonwealth Games gold medallist, the Australian track cycling star is looking to return to the top after surprisingly failing to win a gold medal at the World Championships in Colombia earlier this year. Meares nevertheless remains the racer to beat.

RICHARD MURRAY (Rsa)

Five-time world champion Mary Kom was expected to provide the biggest threat to Nicola Adams as women’s boxing makes its Games debut. But Kom suffered a major shock in the Indian trials when she was defeated by 19-year-old Pinki Jangra, who will now head to Glasgow eyeing an even more momentous upset.

Most eyes might be on the Brownlee brothers, but South African world number four Richard Murray will provide a big threat to England’s hopes of a sibling one-two. Murray has produced a consistent series of results this season including second place at the World Triathlon Series in London.

SALLY PEARSON (Aus)

New Zealand’s bid to charge to another Commonwealth Games rugby sevens gold medal has been boosted by the emergence of Kaka, who has displaced veteran Tomasi Cama in the All Blacks squad and whose performances will be key if they are to wrap up an expected fifth consecutive Games gold.

GILLIES KAKA (Nzl)

Olympic champion Pearson represents Australia’s best hope of athletics gold in the 100m hurdles. The Queenslander, who will defend the title she won in Delhi in four years ago, has had a far from ideal build-up due to injury concerns, but will be intent on adding another gold to her collection.

PADDY BARNES (NIrl)

The irrepressible Belfast boxer is aiming to add a second consecutive Commonwealth Games gold medal after triumphing in Delhi in 2010. Barnes, also a two-time Olympic bronze medallist, could come up against England’s Charlie Edwards in what would be one of the bouts of the Games.

EUAN BURTON (Sco)

Burton’s Olympic dream lasted all of two minutes at London 2012 but the Edinburgh-based judoka has wiped away the tears and is intent on securing spectacular redemption by claiming gold in front of his home fans in Glasgow before — he insists — he will retire from the sport for good.

DAVID CALVERT (NIrl)

Full-bore rifle shooter Calvert will make his unprecedented 10th Commonwealth Games appearance for Northern Ireland in Glasgow. Calvert, who went to his first Games in Edmonton, Canada in 1978, is already the Games’ most decorated athlete with four gold medals and four bronze.

JAZZ CARLIN (Wal)

Carlin is hoping to complete her full set of Commonwealth Games medals after coming so close in Delhi. The Swansea 23-year-old was pipped into silver in the women’s 200m freestyle and bronze in the 400m freestyle. A British title double in April has left her in good shape to succeed.

compete at the Games. The double Olympic champion will bid to do another double over 5,000m and 10,000m distances as he returns to the track in the wake of his relative disappointment in this year’s London Marathon.

MICHAEL JAMIESON (Sco)

Glasgow swimmer Jamieson will be roared on in the pool as he bids to build on his glorious 200m breaststroke silver medal at London 2012. Jamieson pipped his main rival Adam Peaty at the British International Meet in Manchester last month and they are set for another fascinating showdown.

KATARINA JOHNSON-THOMPSON (Eng)

Already anointed heir to British heptathlon greats Denise Lewis and Jessica Ennis, the Liverpool 21-year-old has her sights set firmly on gold in Glasgow. JohnsonThompson is ready for the next step after following up a creditable 15th place in London with fifth at the World Championships in Moscow last year.

SIR BRADLEYWIGGINS (Eng)

Wiggins is set to shrug off the disappointment of missing out on a place in this year’s Tour de France by taking to the track in Glasgow. Wiggins has won six medals over three Olympic Games and appears to see the Commonwealth Games as part of his natural path back to track cycling for Rio 2016.

EILIDH CHILD (Sco)

The 400m hurdles star is relying on the socalled ‘Hampden Roar’ to sweep her to gold in her home stadium after being pipped into silver four years ago. Since that success in Delhi Child has evolved into a world-class athlete and finished fifth after qualifying for last year’s World Championships final in Moscow.

ALED DAVIES (Wal)

Davies is one of the stars as Paralympic events are included in the full Games programme for the first time. The Bridgend athlete won discus gold and shot putt bronze at London 2012, and added double gold at last year’s World Championships in Lyon, making him the man to beat.
