Scotland's Rosemary Lenton has become a Commonwealth gold medallist at the age of 72 with victory in the women's pairs B6-B8 final alongside Pauline Wilson.
Lenton, who was formerly a competitive sailor and cyclist, was making her Games debut in the para bowls, two decades after complications from a routine surgery led to her needing a wheelchair. She has now become Scotland's oldest ever Commonwealth Games gold medal winner.
What began as a close final against Australia's Cheryl Lindfield and Serena Bonnell, level at 5-5 in the early going, became a blowout as Lenton and Wilson triumphed 17-5.
"Absolutely fantastic," Lenton said when asked how victory felt. "I'm dreaming. We both played excellently.
"We always knew we could do it. In the round-robin we didn't always produce it, but when it really mattered we did, and that's the important thing.
"It's the first time that women's para bowls has been included. I thought I would never get to a Commonwealth Games and if I did it would be as a spectator. This is effectively our Olympics because we cannot get any higher."
