Shaw, 22, recalled watching the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

‘When I was in the crowd, it inspired me,” she added. “So hopefully other people, if they have a disability, seeing an increased Para-sport participation, it might inspire them to take up a sport.

‘It is one of the only competitions where the able-bodied and Para-sports are done side by side, so the increased coverage and everything about that I think is just amazing.”

Being in the stands at Tollcross back in 2014 helped convince a then-10 year old Shaw that “this is really cool, I want to do this”.

The Aberdonian admitted going there now as a competitor “is a dream come true moment”.

Under normal circumstances she would be among Team Scotland’s big medal hopes.

As well as that Paralympic bronze, Shaw also boasts an eye-watering collection of other major championship medals, which includes three world golds and two European golds, as well as a Commonwealth Games bronze, which she won in Birmingham four years ago.

However, she said a back injury means it “isn’t really achievable” to dream of topping the podium this time round.

“It has been tough to be honest,” Shaw added. “I had a back injury in 2024 and I have had a steroid injection in it and I have had some treatment for it, so it is doing a lot better, but it is just I haven’t been able to get back to the times I was doing before that.

“It has been quite difficult, but to get on the team was my main goal and to have done that I am really proud and really looking forward to the summer.

“I just want to give it everything I have got.”
