Madeleine McCann’s brother to swim for Scotland in Commonwealth Games
Sean McCann, 21, has been selected to represent Scotland at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, with swimming events beginning on Thursday. The selection marks a major milestone in his athletic career.
McCann previously represented Scotland at the 2023 Commonwealth Youth Games in Trinidad and Tobago, building experience toward his goal of qualifying for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. He competes in freestyle disciplines.
Training nine times weekly in the pool plus three gym sessions, McCann totals over 20 hours of training per week. He started competitive sport at eight and has maintained extreme dedication since age eleven.
His twin sister, Amelie, has also been selected for the Commonwealth Games team. The pair were two years old when their older sister, Madeleine, disappeared in Portugal in 2007.
It remains unclear whether parents Kate and Gerry McCann will attend the 11-day event, though they have previously criticized media portrayals of their family. The couple continues managing public interest while supporting their children's athletic pursuits.
