Scotland's Angharad Evans has become the breakout star of the Commonwealth Games, winning double gold medals and a relay bronze and silver. The Cambridge-born athlete's impressive performance has raised hopes for a strong showing at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Evans, who was described as a 'nervous swimmer' by her coach, Duncan Scott, powered to 200m breaststroke gold to add to her first place in the 100m on the final night of swimming action. Her strategy of keeping expectations low must work, as she will never be as low again. Evans' superb second leg helped Scotland into silver medal position behind Australia in the women's 4x100m medley relay. With four medals to her name, Evans has proven herself to be a force to be reckoned with in the swimming world. The 2026 FIFA World Cup is just around the corner, and Evans' impressive performance at the Commonwealth Games has raised hopes for a strong showing. Scotland currently sits third in the World Cup standings, three points behind leaders Brazil, with a recent form of 2W-0D-3L. The team's next fixture is against Slovenia on September 26th. With Evans leading the charge, Scotland is looking to make a statement at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
