Corrections and clarifications are essential to maintaining journalistic integrity, and this article highlights recent updates that readers should know. We provide transparent corrections to ensure accuracy in reporting, from sports relay team names to broadcast details.
Swim Relay Team Correction
We incorrectly named Matthew Ward as “Katie Ward” in our coverage of Scotland’s Commonwealth bronze-medal-winning mixed 4x100m medley relay team. Matthew Ward swam the backstroke leg, while Angharad Evans, not “Kara Hanlon Evans,” swam the breaststroke leg. Kara Hanlon is a separate Scottish swimmer who competed in the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
