'I won Commonwealth bronze - then went back to work at McDonald's'
Judoka Summer Shaw has her sights set on the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics
"Someone said to me: 'It's crazy that you can win a Commonwealth medal and then come back to work.'"
So 22-year-old Summer Shaw decided to make a TikTok video, external about her swift change of scenery while on a work break at a McDonald's restaurant.
The five-second clip that Shaw posted "for funsies" went viral, and has been watched over one million times. Then came the comments...
Shaw won Scotland's first judo medal at the recent Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, a bronze in the 48kg event.
"It's so cool when it's something you've dreamed of doing since you were eight years old - and suddenly you're there," Shaw told BBC Sport.
"To get there was crazy, and to come away with a medal was even better."
Shaw won that medal on the last Friday of the Games. The next week, she was back at the family home in Surrey - and back to work.
"I picked up that part-time job [at McDonald's] when I was studying for my A-levels," said Shaw, who qualifies to represent Scotland through her father's side of the family.
She has recently been based largely in Birmingham while studying for a biology degree. That means she has been close to the British Judo Olympic and Paralympic National Training Centre in Walsall.
