New Delhi: Hannah Miley on Saturday won the women's 400m individual medley in a new Games record to give Scotland its second swimming gold.
The 21-year-old swam a superb second half of the multi-stroke race to finish in 4:38.03 but had to hang on as Australia's Samantha Hamill came back at her. Hamill got silver with England's Keri-Anne Payne in bronze.
Miley was favourite going into the final in the absence of Australia's triple Olympic champion Stephanie Rice, who set the previous Games best in Melbourne four years ago but is recovering from a shoulder injury.
Scotland's Robbie Renwick won gold for Scotland in the 200m freestyle this week. Miley's win came a race after teammate Michael Jamieson grabbed silver in the 200m breaststroke.
South Africa-born Payne, 23, is a World Championships and Olympic gold medalist over 10km and an open water champion. She came sixth in the 400m individual medley in Melbourne.
