Lodged by Alexander Stewart Standard Motion 30 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the news that Duncan Scott has been named as Swimmer of the Year at the Scottish Swimming Awards 2024; considers that the accolade comes after Duncan became Scotland’s most decorated Olympian for his performances at the Paris Olympics 2024, earning a Gold medal for the 4x200m freestyle relay and a Silver medal in the 200m medley singles event; understands that the annual awards event took place at The Event Complex Aberdeen on 21 September 2024; acknowledges the considerable efforts of the University of Stirling’s swim programme, which Duncan has spent nearly a decade participating in; believes that, in addition to Swimmer of the Year, he was also the recipient of the JY Coutts Memorial Award and the Nancy Riach Memorial Award; further believes that the University of Stirling coaches, Steven Tigg and Bradley Hay, were joint recipients of the Coach of the Year award, and commends Duncan, Steven and Bradley, as well as everyone involved in the University of Stirling's programme, for their enormous efforts for the good of the sport.
