GB PARALYMPIC swimming medalist Scott Quin dropped in to Midlothian based Alex F Noble & Son Nissan to say thanks and to show off his silver medal won in Rio.
Scott, 26, who has Crouzon syndrome, was edged into silver medal position by the tiniest of margins by fellow Brit, Aaron Moores in a thrilling SB14 100m breaststroke final.
Alex F Noble & Son Nissan had previously presented Scott with a stylish Nissan Pulsar on an initial twelve month sponsorship to help Scott’s mum, Eileen take Scott from his home in Loanhead to the Royal Commonwealth Pool in Edinburgh for ten training sessions as well as his physio and nutritionist appointments.
The car has been a great success. Eileen said: “We’re very grateful to Alex F Noble & Son for the use of the Pulsar. The car is so fuel efficient, it’s saving us a fortune in travel costs and making life so much easier for us”.
Alex F Noble & Son Nissan sales manager, Gordon Campbell, welcomed Scott back to the dealership. He said: “Those that watched Scott’s final would have been on the edge of their seats as it was such a close run thing.
“Scott did incredibly well and is obviously a huge talent. We’re delighted the Pulsar is making a big difference to his rigorous weekly routine which is clearly producing results.”
He added: “All the team at Alex F Noble & Son offer him our heartiest congratulations on his Rio success and best wishes for the future”.
Although not long back home from Rio, Scott is already training hard for his next big challenge; the SB14 100m breaststroke event at the Para World championships in Mexico City next year.
Scott said: “It was great to know that I had the support of the team at Alex F Noble & Son while I was out in Rio. Now that I’m back home focusing on training again, travelling in the Pulsar makes all the difference to my daily regime.”
