HAD the Tokyo Olympics gone ahead last summer as planned, Kathleen Dawson would almost certainly not have been thinking about winning medals, never mind talking about such a prospect. The 23-year-old has been one of Scotland’s brightest talents in the pool since she was a teenager but a torn ACL in 2018 set her progress back significantly. However, while the one-year postponement of Tokyo 2020 was far from ideal for most athletes, for Dawson, it was a stroke of luck and afforded her the time and space to recover from surgery and regain the form that had seen her win European Championship individual bronze, as well as relay gold, in 2016.
