The focus this week may have been on the return of the triumphant efforts of Team Scotland at the Commonwealth Games on Australia's Gold Coast, but another homegrown team also brought back the spoils.

The Scotland Indoor Tug of War Team recently returned from China after competing in the World Indoor Tug of War Championships where they won two international gold medals and two club silver medals.

The Herald:

Scotland International gold medals were won in the Men’s 640kg and the Men’s 680kg.

Silver medals were won in the Men’s 600kg and the Mixed 600kg Club Competitions - Scotland entered the club competition as Tinto, a team from Biggar.

Bob Warnock, indoor coach at the Scottish Tug Of War Association said: "This is a terrific result from the whole Scottish team. I am very proud of the squad's achievements and application to training through the winter months.

"Another two golds to bring our total tally to 20 in the last 11 world indoor championships."

Scotland's men’s indoor team is ranked number one.
