Fin Graham couldn't hide his disappointment with settling for silver in the velodrome
Fin Graham couldn't kid anyone. He didn't come for silver on Sunday.
The Scottish Para-cyclist upgraded Friday's bronze from the men's C1-C3 1000m time trial final, but he was going for gold in the C1-C3 3km individual pursuit final.
However, he was stood a step down from England's Matthew Robertson when Jerusalem bellowed round the velodrome, as he was denied what he called a "once in a lifetime" experience.
The 26-year-old was desperate to hear Flower of Scotland on home soil. Even more so given he felt a tang of injustice with the running of this race.
"I'd be lying if I said gold wasn't what I wanted," Graham told BBC Sport Scotland, after he was presented his second medal of these Games.
"It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to hear the national anthem here in Scotland, so I'd be lying if I said I was not gutted.
"As athletes, we've got hurdles to get over and goalposts do change, for whatever reason. But, the decision was made, you can't dwell on it."

The decision in question, surrounds how this event was staged.
In layman terms, Graham had prepared to be racing head-to-head against an opponent in an individual pursuit, rather than hurtling round the track on his own in a time trial against the clock.
Earlier in the week, Graham posted on social media, external, sharing his confusion and anger about what he felt was a late change.
However, it emerged that a long-standing policy by the UCI - cycling's governing body - dictates that when riders are competing across classifications, as they are here, then a time trial is run instead to avoid big mismatches.
It's still the same distance, just solo. However, Graham still feels aggrieved.
"As racers, we want to be racing someone else on the track," he said. "For one reason or another, they've changed that at the start of the week.
"You have to come to terms with that and adjust.
"I think the crowd as well, it's better for them to see a race, but for some reason they've made the decision not to have that.
"We've done all we can do but it wasn't quite enough to take the gold today. Matt raced a good ride to take it, I just didn't quite have the legs to do that."
