Medal No.14 for Jim
Scots success in the pool as Anderson collects 14th medal
Scotland's Jim Anderson claimed the 14th Paralympic medal of his career with a silver in the 200m freestyle on the opening day of competition in Beijing.
Taking part in his fifth Paralympics, the 45-year-old was the defending champion, and he admitted he hopes to be claiming gold in his other three events - the 50m and 100m freestyle and the 50m backstroke.
"My time could have been quicker in the final of the 200m but I know I have enough left for my next three events," said the Broxburn-trained swimmer.
"It's great to get the first medal out here - but there is more to come."
Jim is one of four Scottish swimmers in Team GB. Andrew Lindsay, Mhairi Love and teenager Sean Fraser are also strong medal prospects.
