Richards, 23, claimed silver in the 200m freestyle alongside James Guy after the Englishman recorded the same time with Australian Kai Taylor taking the gold. Matthew Richards has now surpassed them with his tally of two silver and two bronze with the swimmer having not won a Commonwealth Games medal before Glasgow. He was the world 200m champion in 2023 and the Olympic silver medallist a year later. Three of them qualified for the final but reigning Commonwealth champion and home favourite Scott missed out. McMillan finished sixth in the final, while double Olympic relay champion Tom Dean was eighth.
