Fin Bref Graham шәхес, 26‑year‑old Scottish para‑cyclist, finished with silver in the men's C1-C3 3km individual pursuit final at the Commonwealth Games, but he was visibly gutted. The medal came after a bronze in the 1000m time trial earlier that week, and he had set his sights firmly on gold.\n\nThe disappointment stemmed not from performance alone but from the way the event was staged. Graham had prepared to race head‑to‑head, but a late change to a solo time trial was imposed to avoid mismatches between classifications, a long‑standing UCI policy.\n\nHe expressed frustration, saying he was a bit perplexed at how the race was run and that he felt a tang of injustice.

Graham added that he was desperate to hear the *Flower of Scotland* on home soil and that not hearing it left him feeling uncertain about the future.\n\nIn an interview with BBC Sport Scotland, he said, 'It’s a once‑in‑a‑lifetime opportunity to hear the national anthem here in Scotland, so I’d be lying if I said I was not gutted.'.
