No car park tears this time for Love as 3×3 teams claim silver & bronze
Scotland's wheelchair 3×3 basketball teams delivered a memorable day at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, with the women's side taking silver and the men's team winning bronze, marking a significant improvement on past disappointments for both squads. The result carries particular emotional weight for Robyn Love, who was the only survivor from the Scotland team that lost out on a medal to England in Birmingham four years ago, and for men's players Kyle Jimenez and Ross Malcolm, who had lost consecutive bronze-medal matches at the previous two Games.
The women's team, featuring Love alongside Lea Smith, Kayli English and Jodie Waite, beat Australia in the semi-final before losing 18-10 to England in the gold-medal match at the SEC on Wednesday. The men's team, made up of Jimenez, Malcolm, Skylar White and Owen McCormack, edged New Zealand 18-16 to secure bronze, avenging previous Games defeats. It was a more mixed day for the wheelchair men's team, who lost their bronze-medal match 19-9 to Canada.
