Micky Yule was Team Scotland's flag-bearer at the opening ceremony for this year's Commonwealth Games, which kicked off on 28 July in Birmingham.

It has been a long journey for the 43-year-old para powerlifter, who also took Olympic bronze at Tokyo 2020 last year. Twelve years ago, while working as a British army sergeant on tour in Afghanistan, Yule stepped on an improvised explosive device. He suffered an injury that would eventually leave him a double-leg amputee and require around 80 operations.
