Edinburgh athletes dominated the Commonwealth Games with a record 10 medals—4 gold, 3 silver, 3 bronze—raking in enough hardware to rank 12th overall. Standouts include wheelchair racer Melanie Woods, who won two golds and the David Dixon Award, plus medical student Faye Rogers and swimmer Stephen Clegg, both claiming gold. Teammates Ciara Schlosshan, Anna Morgan, Josh Mitchell, Megan Keith, and Stephen Mackenzie added silver and bronze, including a Scottish record in long jump. Archie Goodburn, a recent grad battling a brain tumor, swam in his final despite diagnosis, using the platform to advocate for earlier cancer detection.
