More than 10,000 of the word’s greatest athletes are bound for France to take part in this year’s Summer Olympics - taking place from July 26-August 11.
They’ll be competing in a total of 329 events across 32 sports, including breakdancing which is making its games debut.
In the last Olympics Scottish athletes won 16 of Team GB’s 65 medals, with Duncan Scott, Katie Archibald, Kathleen Dawson, Jack Carlin, Angus Groom, Harry Leask, Neah Evans, Laura Muir, Anna Burnet, Sarah Robertson, and Josh Kerr all taking podium places.
That included three gold medals - for Duncan Scott in the 4x200m freestyle relay, Katie Archibald in the women’s madison, and Kathleen Dawson in the mixed 4x100 metre medley relay.
Sadly Archibald has had to pull out due to an injury caused by a freak accident.
Here are 11 of Scotland’s best medal hopes that are making it to the Games.
5. Jack Carlin
Gold medals have proved elusive for Scottish cyclist Jack Carlin in recent years - he won a silver and a bronze at both the last Olympic Games and the last Commonwealth Games. The specialist sprinter will be hoping to reach the top of the podium in Paris in the Team Sprint and Individual Sprint. | Getty Images
6. Duncan Scott
Born in Alloa, Duncan Scott became Britain's most successful Olympic swimmer in history at Tokyo 2020, bringing home a gold and three silvers. He's been out of form due to illness in the past year, but is hoping to be back to full fitness in time to try to add to his bulging trophy cabinet in Paris. | Getty Images
7. Kathleen Dawson
Backstroke specialist Kathleen Mary Dawson struck gold at the Tokyo Olympics in the mixed 4 × 100 metre medley relay in a world record time. The 100 metre backstroke European champion and record holder will be hoping for more of the same in Paris. | Getty Images
8. Rowan McKellar
Scottish rowers Rowan McKellar and Karen Bennett were half of the quartet who agonisingly came fourth in the women's four at the Tokyo Olympics. They'll be hoping for the chance to go at least one better in Paris. | Getty Images for British Rowing
