Summer Shaw has made headlines after winning Scotland's first judo medal at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. The 22-year-old captured a bronze in the women's 48kg category, achieved on the last Friday of the Games. Just a week later, she returned to her part-time job at McDonald's, where her flexibility in work hours supports her judo commitments while she studies for a biology degree. Shaw has expressed her aspirations to qualify for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. She has set up a GoFundMe to help finance her Olympic journey, noting the financial challenges faced by elite athletes in lesser-funded sports.
