History was made in Birmingham as George Miller at 75 year-old, became the oldest man to win Commonwealth Games gold when Scotland beat Wales to win the B2/B3 mixed pairs bowls.
The Scot is the director for visually impaired bowler Melanie Innes who, along with Robert Barr and his director Sarah Jane Ewing, beat Wales 16-9.
The proud medalist takes over as oldest medallist from compatriot Rosemary Lenton, 72, who won the Para women’s pairs on Wednesday.
Miller spoke with BBC Sport following his feat
“A year ago I never dreamed of being here. I got a phone call, and nearly fell off my chair to be honest. Here we are – where are we going to go from here. I am pleased.”
“Bowls is easier for older people – but any sport… walking football, rugby, you name it. Get out there and exercise, play games, compete. It’s brilliant whatever age you are.”
Welshman Gordon Llewellyn – who is also 75 but five months younger than Miller – had to settle for silver along with partner Julie Thomas.
