More than 10,000 of the word’s greatest athletes are bound for France to take part in this year’s Summer Olympics - taking place from July 26-August 11.
They’ll be competing in a total of 329 events across 32 sports, including breakdancing which is making its games debut.
In the last Olympics Scottish athletes won 16 of Team GB’s 65 medals, with Duncan Scott, Katie Archibald, Kathleen Dawson, Jack Carlin, Angus Groom, Harry Leask, Neah Evans, Laura Muir, Anna Burnet, Sarah Robertson, and Josh Kerr all taking podium places.
That included three gold medals - for Duncan Scott in the 4x200m freestyle relay, Katie Archibald in the women’s madison, and Kathleen Dawson in the mixed 4x100 metre medley relay.
Sadly Archibald has had to pull out due to an injury caused by a freak accident.
Here are 11 of Scotland’s best medal hopes that are making it to the Games.
1. Laura Muir
Inverness-born runner Laura Muir will be hoping to add another 1500 metres Olympic medal to the silver she won in Tokyo 2020. She also took bronze at the 2022 World Championships, gold and bronze at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, and two European titles. | Getty Images
