Scots trio added to Olympic squad

Lemoncello has secured a place at the Beijing Olympics

Andrew Lemoncello, Susan Scott and Allan Scott have joined Lee McConnell as Scotland's track and field representatives in the Olympic squad.

All three athletes were left out of the inital pool but have done enough to be selected for Great Britain.

Lemoncello (steeplechase) beat the qualifying mark at the AF Golden League meeting in Paris and Allan Scott (110m hurdler) did likewise in Loughborough.

Susan Scott had been vying with Hannah England for a 1500m slot.

Lemoncello booked his place at the AF Golden League meeting in Paris on Friday night.
