Reuben Ward made history as Scotland's first men's all-around Commonwealth Games champion on Sunday, with teammate Cammy Lynn finishing 10th. The pair celebrated with "No Scotland, No Party" at Glasgow International Arena.

On Monday, both medaled in pommel horse. Jordan Carroll of Canada took gold with Ward claiming silver. Lynn, the sixth of eight competitors, delivered a career-best routine scoring 13.8 to move into bronze position behind Ward.

Olympic champion Rhys McClenaghan (Northern Ireland) and Australia's Ritam Malik still had to compete. Lynn expected a top-five finish but held bronze even after a failed Northern Irish protest. Ward, emotionally drained after Sunday's gold and a floor fall Monday, produced a strong pommel routine finishing 0.34 points behind Carroll.

"To get two out of three on the podium for Scotland, and to do it with one of my best friends is a feeling I can't describe," Ward said. The 21-year-old and 23-year-old Stirling native Lynn gave Scotland a historic double podium.
