The contingent of swimmers from Stirling University will join tennis legend Sir Andy Murray in flying the flag for the city at the Games.
Stirling ’s Olympians are preparing to make their Parisian bow as the sporting extravaganza kicks off in the French capital on Friday.
Murray confirmed yesterday that Paris would be the final hurrah on the court after his glittering career. The tennis takes place at Roland Garros – the home of the French Open. He is likely to take part in the doubles event alongside fellow Davis Cup star Dan Evans, with formal pairings yet to be announced before the draw.
Fellow Olympic champion Kathleen Dawson is hoping to repeat her success from Tokyo where she won gold as part of the 4x100 metre mixed relay quartet, while Lucy Hope and Jack McMillan will line up for their second Games. She added: “It was very touch and go whether I’d be on this team. Thinking back three years ago, after the last Olympics, when I was going through so many issues with my back, it was uncertain whether I’d be on this team. So, to have made it, I’m unbelievably proud of myself.”
