It was sufficient, though, to earn him the title of Scotland’s most decorated Olympic athlete, with his two gold and six silvers taking him beyond cyclist Sir Chris Hoy.<\/p>\n
Scott – while thrilled with his night’s work – was not having any of that talk, though. <\/p>\n
“I mean… I shouldn’t be in the same sentence as that guy or Andy Murray,” he told BBC Scotland. “Those two have been a huge inspiration to everything I’ve done. <\/p>\n
“Sure, I’ve got a few medals but I couldn’t have got this many without being part of a load of fantastic relays.”<\/p>\n
Might there be more of those relays to come over the next couple of days? <\/p>\n
Despite not planning to have them in his schedule for this meet, Scott is now keen for a role in either the mixed or men’s 4x100m medley. Hoy’s mark might not only be beaten, but eclipsed entirely by Sunday night.<\/p>\n
“I’m always going to throw my hand up,” said Scott, after embracing his Saltire-wielding family in the stands as the cameras cut to the aforementioned Murray amid the crowd.<\/p>\n
“I just love racing in these environments and it brings something special out of me. Back-to-back silvers in the 200m IM is pretty cool and what a night it’s been.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
