Sophie Taylor: 'England camp are bouncing off each other'

Commonwealth gold medallist Sophie Taylor has claimed that she and her teammates are feeding off each other's success in the pool.

The 18-year-old clinched gold in the 100m breaststroke final this evening at Tollcross after failing to medal in the 50m earlier this week.

After Taylor added to the tally, England now have 24 Commonwealth medals in Glasgow, eight of which are gold.

"Everyone's just bouncing off each other's energy," Taylor told Sports Mole. "Everyone's really positive. It's been a good week for England, so the atmosphere's really good."

Host nation Scotland currently have nine medals to their name.
