LYNSEY SHARP is limbering up for the Olympics but says Rio will have to be pretty special to surpass her 2014 Commonwealth Games experience, writes Stuart Weir.
“As a career highlight I think Glasgow will be hard to beat,” she says. “As I was growing up I would never have imagined having a major championship like that in Scotland and being able to win a medal. Looking back, I still think it was amazing.”
Sharp was a controversial choice for the Olympics four years ago when she was chosen ahead of four athletes who had faster season’s bests and went to the London Games with only a B qualifying standard. But such as been her progress over the last four years, the selectors’ decision was justified.
