James Millar: 'I had to deal with expectations'

By , Reporter
Scotland's James Millar reveals that he had to deal with the expectations of the home crowd in Glasgow to secure his bronze medal in the men's -66kgs judo.

Team Scotland's James Millar has admitted that he was pleased to take bronze in the men's -66kg Judo at the Commonwealth Games.

Millar defeated Zambia's Mathews Bpunza with an ippon throw to secure the medal, and revealed that it was difficult competing in front of his home crowd after his side's previous success.

He told reporters: "It was a really tough fight with high expectations. With the girls getting gold and John with bronze it was tense.

"On the team we train together every day and we've known each other for years so to be here is just incredible."

Kimberley Renicks and Louise Renicks won two gold medals for Scotland in the judo, while Stephanie Inglis claimed silver on the first day of the competition.
