At the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, had Loughborough College competed as a separate nation it would have finished 10th in the medal table above the likes of Kenya, Pakistan and Usain Bolt's Jamaica. The college deals with mainly youngsters under university age and is part of the wider 'Loughborough Sport' group. We've been on campus to see how they combine academic gold stars off the track with gold medals on it.
