Huge congratulations to the newly crowned European Womenβs Singles Champion - Kirsty Gilmour.
After an incredible journey and five previous silver medals, Kirsty has finally claimed the Gold in Huelva, Spain.
While this is a monumental moment for Scottish badminton, it is an especially proud day for the Glasgow School of Sport and Bellahouston Academy where Kirsty spent her early years training!

Even then, she was a standoutβperfectly balancing her academics with elite-level training. Since moving on to train full-time, we have watched her go from strength to strength, and today, she reached the absolute pinnacle.
π Inspiring the Next Generation
Watching an alumni reach the top of the European podium is the ultimate inspiration for our current student-athletes.
Kirsty is living proof that with world-class talent, a solid foundation, and unwavering resilience, the world stage is within your reach.
Kirsty, your "never-give-up" attitude is legendary, and this success is so richly deserved. Youβve made your school and your country incredibly proud! ππ
