Adlington wins fifth Scotland judo gold

Scotland's Sarah Adlington has secured the Commonwealth Games women's judo +78kg gold medal after victory over England's Jodie Myers in the final.

The 27-year-old from Shrewsbury saw off her younger opponent courtesy of a yuko, while also registering three shido, to seal a 1-0 victory.

The result means that Scotland now have five judo gold medals at their home Games thus far, after first-placed finishes for Louise Renicks, Kimberley Renicks, Sarah Clark and Euan Burton.

Burton was Scotland's flag bearer at the opening ceremony.
