Latest Stirling athletes selected to compete at this summer's Commonwealth Games

University of Stirling artistic gymnasts Cameron Lynn and Crystelle Lake have been selected to represent Team Scotland at this summer’s Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

The duo are the latest Stirling athletes confirmed to compete at the Games, bringing the total to 18, with 16 swimmers from the University’s renowned high performance programme already announced to represent Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man.

Lynn and Lake, who are part of the University of Stirling’s Sports Scholarship Programme, will compete in Glasgow as part of a nine-strong Artistic Gymnastics squad announced by Team Scotland.

For second year Sport Business Management student, Lynn, this will be his second Games, having been part of the Scotland’s men’s team that finished fifth at the Birmingham 2022 Games, where he also made it to the pommel horse final as an individual.

Lake, who is in the fourth year of her Sport Development and Coaching degree, will be making her Team Scotland debut in Glasgow, having overcome the disappointment of missing the Birmingham Games, which she had been nominated for, due to injury.

Despite the setback, Lake, from Glasgow, demonstrated her determination and resilience as she went on to become 2025 Scottish All-Around Champion and represented the GB team at the World University Games in Germany, before receiving her Team Scotland call-up for Glasgow.

Being selected for Team Scotland at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games is a huge honour, especially after missing the last Games through injury. To come back and have the chance to compete on home soil, in front of a Scottish crowd, makes it even more special.

Commenting on her selection, Lake said: “Being selected for Team Scotland at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games is a huge honour, especially after missing the last Games through injury.

“To come back and have the chance to compete on home soil, in front of a Scottish crowd, makes it even more special. I’m incredibly proud and grateful for the opportunity to represent Scotland in Glasgow.”

Everyone at Scotland’s University for Sporting Excellence will be right behind them, along with all our athletes, and we wish Cameron and Crystelle every success on this exciting stage.”
