Scottish swimmer Duncan Scott says he is “as hungry as ever” as he aims to build on an already glittering career at the Aquatics GB Swimming Championships.
Scott, 27, helped Great Britain win gold in the men’s 4x200m freestyle relay and claimed silver in the men’s 200m individual medley at last year’s Paris Olympics, taking his overall Olympic medal tally to eight.
Despite becoming Scotland’s most decorated Olympian, alongside a raft of other major championship medals, Scott is determined to further swell his silverware collection.
“I am the most decorated silver medallist at the Olympic games so I have had plenty of seconds and nearly moments and that comes with a lot of motivation in itself,” Scott told BBC Scotland. “I am as hungry as ever.
“On one hand I have achieved a lot and I am really grateful for what I have been able to do. Over my career I have been able to achieve a really high level of success for a long period of time, but on the other side I have fallen short so many times.
“In some ways you can say it is a positive because it has kept me hungry for this entire time, it allows me to keep pushing.
“I find that quite exciting as well. There is so much that I still want to do and achieve in the sport and think that I am capable of doing that as well.”
