Scotland's Scott Cusack followed in the footsteps of both his mum and dad by becoming a Commonwealth Games judo medallist.
The 30-year-old took bronze in the -90kg division on Saturday, following in the footsteps of Loretta and Billy, who were on the podium at the 1990 Auckland Games.
Loretta was at the Glasgow venue as the sport's competition manager for the Games, watching on as her boy edged a pulsating contest against Danny Vojnikovich of Australia, winning by Ippon.
Both men were walking a tightrope after picking up two penalties, knowing that a third would result in automatic disqualification.
But Vojnikovich made a tackle without a grip, allowing Cusack to claim the medal, to the delight of the home crowd in Glasgow.
