Duncan Scott misses 200m freestyle final at Glasgow 2026 after fourth-place heat finish

Duncan Scott, Scotland's most decorated Commonwealth swimmer, failed to reach the men's 200m freestyle final at Glasgow 2026. He finished fourth in his heat at Tollcross Swimming Centre in 1:47.83 — slower than Wales' Matt Richards and Northern Ireland's Jack McMillan in the same heat. Days earlier, Scott was honoured with a named stand and mural at the venue.
