WALLACE INSPIRED BY ‘BRAVEHEART’

-

GLASGOW: Dan Wallace said he had been inspired by the film “Braveheart” as he won Scotland’s third swimming gold medal of the Commonweal­th Games on home soil in the men’s 400m individual medley on Friday. The 21-year-old could be seen bellowing “Freedom” after touching the wall to seal the win, just as his namesake William Wallace does in the film. “I just screamed ‘freedom’ at the top of my lungs because just being here in front of a home crowd just brought out the Braveheart inside of me,” he said. “I watched it just last week to get ready for this. It’s such a Scottish thing. It warms my heart.”
