The eight-time Olympic medallist, fresh off more success in Paris, was taking part in the first leg of the World Aquatics Swimming World Cup in Shanghai alongside fellow Olympian James Guy and ex-Stirling training partner Mark Szaranek.

Scott opened his account by winning the 400 metres freestyle crown, leading from the front in his first medals swim since the drama of the French capital.

He followed that up with more gold in the 200 metres freestyle final, finishing the race ahead of Australia’s Edward Sommerville and Lithuania’s Danas Rapsys.
