July 02, 2025

A quartet of top sporting talent was celebrating for different reasons last week after graduating from Stirling University.

Paralympic skier Scott Meenagh, professional golfer Louise Duncan, judoka Gabriella Wood and modern pentathlete Tristen Bell all received their degree in the institution's latest round of summer graduations.

Meenagh, from Cumbernauld, took up Para sport after losing both his legs in an incident while serving as a soldier with the British Army in Afghanistan.

In South Korea in 2018, he became the first Brit to compete in Nordic skiing at a Paralympics for 20 years.

Four years later he returned to Paralympic action in Beijing.

In 2023, he became the first British athlete to win a Para Nordic World Championship medal, taking silver in the 12.5km individual biathlon.
