Neil Fachie won his second gold medal of these Commonwealth Games on an afternoon of high drama and painful scrapes in Glasgow.

Neil Fachie and pilot Aaron Pope recovered from a brutal crash to take gold in what is to be Fachie's final race When Neil Fachie reappeared in the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, he said to pilot Aaron Pope: "The story is written here, let's finish it off." The last chapter of Scotland's record-breaking Para-cyclist was always going to be chronicled here. It just so happens no one drafted up the version that unfolded. Fachie finished his Commonwealth Games career where he started it, here in Glasgow, with gold medals in the men's tandem B 1,000m and tandem B sprint. There were hopes, tears and fears. Thighs burning, knees bleeding and lungs bursting. Nerves jangling, fingers crossing and hearts pounding. But it ended the way it was always supposed to. With Scotland's greatest having a little cry to Flower of Scotland atop the podium. Just before Fachie ducked his head to receive his final medal, his wife Lora appeared on the big screen, expressing her emotion at what she'd just witnessed. Retirement is something Fachie has thought about, spoken about, and actually done before. He's pictured it. He's lived it, even, post-Paris Olympics.
