Robbie Renwick says that his mind was elsewhere when he competed in the 400m freestyle final at the Commonwealth Games, where he finished seventh.

Team Scotland swimmer Robbie Renwick has insisted that he was not fully focused on clinching a Commonwealth medal in the 400m freestyle final at Tollcross this evening.

The 26-year-old finished seventh, just one place ahead of his teammate Stephen Milne, while England's James Guy scooped bronze for his efforts.

"I've got the 200m tomorrow, and I think that was in the back of my mind," Renwick told reporters. "From the start, I just didn't feel that good.

"'Do I risk it and put in much effort and maybe come fifth or sixth or do I save a little towards the end so I'm in a shout of getting the gold medal tomorrow?'. I think subconsciously, I held back a little bit.

"I'm pretty disappointed, I would love to be one of these swimmers who can do back-to-back races, but the reality is, I need to be realistic and save my energy for when it counts."

Canada's Ryan Cochrane won gold, while David McKeon of Australia earned silver.
