Archie Goodburn has made a remarkable comeback by securing the gold medal in the 100m breaststroke at the Scottish National Open Swimming Championships. This victory comes just a year after his diagnosis with brain cancer, highlighting his incredible resilience and determination.

Competing at the Royal Commonwealth Pool in Edinburgh, the 24-year-old from the University of Edinburgh clocked an impressive time of 1:02.42, comfortably outpacing Rafe Dobson from Stirling University. Goodburn, who was the runner-up in the 50m breaststroke at the British Championships in April, entered the race as a strong favorite. He continues to train rigorously for the upcoming World University Games this summer and the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow next year.

In addition to his 100m victory, Goodburn is also aiming to retain his title in the Scottish 50m breaststroke this weekend. His performance not only underscores his athletic prowess but also serves as an inspiration to many facing similar health challenges.

Meanwhile, Faye Rogers from Aberdeen University made headlines by breaking her own S10 200m butterfly world record, clocking a time of 2:18.24, more than half a second faster than her previous record. She secured a bronze medal in the able-bodied final, further adding to the excitement of the championships.

This event not only celebrated outstanding athletic achievements but also highlighted the power of perseverance and the human spirit in overcoming adversity.
