There's no time for a breather at the bowls.
While the day started with the dramatic culmination and celebration of Scotland's Para-mixed pairs B2-B3 champions, it ended with the beginning of the Para-men's pairs B6-B8 and the Para-women's pairs B6-B8 campaigns.
The men's duo of Garry Brown and Stuart Sloan kick-started their quest with a straight-sets victory over South Africa.
Taking the first five-end set 4-1, the Scots wrapped up the second 6-3, making the perfect start to their group.
It was a more disappointing evening for the women's pair of Mary Wilson and Pauline Wilson, though, as they lost out to Malaysia on the tie-breaker.
They bounced back from their first set 6-4 loss to clinch the second 6-3 and force the extra end, but they couldn't sneak a victory.
They'll have a chance to claim their first win on Wednesday when they play Canada.
Doig wins Scotland's first weightlifting medal in astonishing turnaroundpublished at 21:42 BST 28 July

To say Angus Doig did not expect to win Commonwealth Games weightlifting bronze would be an understatement.
The 27-year-old firefighter was 27kg behind the leader at halfway in the 88kg category. After making his three clean and jerks he finished around 25kg short of what would normally be considered the mark for a medal.
Perhaps understandably, Doig gathered up his things and headed off to meet his friends and family.
But, one by one, those ahead of him faltered and Doig had to make his way back to the warm-up area. He was there in time to see the decisive failure by South Africa's Will Swart, which ensured he would finish in a remarkable third place.
"When I heard the barbell hit the platform I knew he'd missed it," the Scot, who trains along at his garage in the Peak District of England said. "It's absolutely unbelievable – and here I am back doing more interviews."
"My goal had always been just to get to the Commonwealth Games, do my best and try for the top five. The podium was never on the cards."
Doig - who qualifies through his Scottish father David - won the British Championship this year, despite only switching from CrossFit to weightlifting two-and-a-half years ago.
Later in the day, Beth Ashbee finished ninth in the women's 63kg and Maddie Rosher was fifth in the 69kg.

Kyle Jimenez sunk an outrageous buzzer beater to defeat Malaysia and send Scotland into the men's 3x3 basketball semi-finals.
With the shot clock running down in a thrilling play-in match, Jimenez sensationally scooped the ball from the deepest corner of the court into the net, shocking everyone inside hall two in the SEC Centre.
In a race to 21, the Scots were leading 19-16 with 1:18 remaining when Jimenez tried his luck, and though there was a shot clock review, his incredible effort stood to send the host nation through.
Jimenez himself was left gawping, as were his team-mates, as he pulled off one of the wildest finishes to any game.

Caitlin Rainey has guaranteed Scotland's first ever boxing medal at a Commonwealth Games after winning her quarter-final in the women's 65kg division.
With a both losing semi-finalists earning bronze, the 23-year-old taxi driver from Renton knew victory in her first bout in Glasgow would be enough to secure her country's first boxing podium this year.
And she knocked down Flora Loga of Papua New Guinea three times in the second round - having won the first - to force the referee to stop the contest.
Rainey will now fight Kaci Rock of Northern Ireland in Friday's semi, with a potential gold-medal fight on the line.
Heavyweight Robert McNulty is also guaranteed a medal after he won his quarter-final on points against Kapil Pokhariya of India.
However, there was disappointment for Niamh Mitchell in the 60kg division after she lost her quarter-final on points to another Indian, Priya Priya.

A Commonwealth Games boxing match only lasts nine minutes, but there was a wee bit of afters outside the ring following Nick Devlin's split-decision win over Ebenezer Ankrah from Ghana.
A tight bout in the men's 60kg, the Scotsman was granted a little bit of breathing space courtesy of Ankrah's point deduction for holding in the third round. Coorie in, son.
At times, it appeared he was hanging onto the 25-year-old with dear life, but when the warning was issued, Ankrah's camp, supporters and Ghanaian media were livid.
Heckles to the referee pierced through the jubilant home support who had just watched Devlin move to one fight away from a medal, and they continued out onto the concourse post-fight.
Volunteers shifted to the side as Ankrah's coaches and media vented their frustration. Eventually, 20 minutes or so post-fight, things started to cool down.
The Scot, who has swapped stacking shelves at Aldi for reaching a Commonwealth Games quarter-final with his country, was left unfazed by the reaction, though. In fact, it spurred him on a wee bit more.
"It just gave me that extra 10%, in addition to the incredible noise the home supporters made again," Devlin told BBC Scotland.
"I could hear my team shouting in between rounds and that's only helping as well.
"I can't thank them enough, they're the best team in the world.
"I just want to go and win a medal for them as well."
Kerr canters on in with split-decision victory
Later in the evening, Sonny Kerr secured his place in the men's 70kg quarter-finals with a split-decision win over Kenya's Boniface Maina.
An unanimous scoring in the second round - which included a knockdown - was required, as was a deduction for the Kenyan on an otherwise tight card.
He'll face Samoan Marion Ah Tong in Wednesday's quarter-final.
Neely in tears after point deduction
There was heartbreak for Brooke Neely in the women's 51kg last 16 after she was handed two point deductions in her defeat to Sri Lanka's Nadeeka Ranasinghe.
The Irvine-born 21-year-old couldn't hold back the tears post-bout as she insisted if it wasn't for her deductions in rounds two and three for holding, she would have reached the quarter-finals.
"I was happy with my draw, I usually get unlucky in tournaments but this was my first big one," she told TNT Sports.
"I've been working for 12 years to get here, it's heartbreaking."

Scotland will win their first bowls medal of this Commonwealth Games... but what colour will it be?
We'll find out on Tuesday morning when the Para-mixed pair B2-B3 of Mary Stevenson and Robert Barr, and their directors Jim Aitken and Sarah Jane Ewing, take on England in the final.
Barr and Ewing collected gold in Birmingham four years ago, and have the chance to retain their title after seeing off New Zealand in Monday's semi-final.
The sides couldn't be separated in the first set, peeling at 5-5, and it was another tight tussle in the second, with the score 3-3 heading into the final end.
The Scots managed to scoop up a pair, though, to progress through to the final against England, who defeated Wales in their respective semi-final.
When the Auld Enemy met in the group stage, the Scots came out on top, winning in straight sets with an 8-6 8-1 score.
How they would take a repeat of that on Tuesday...

Scotland's Jason Banks missed the chance to progress to the men's singles semi-finals, losing to Sam Tolchard of England in a winner-takes-all final group game.
The former world number one struggled to settle on the carpet, while his English counterpart stormed to a straight sets victory.
Banks clawed back to 3-3 in the first set, but lost a full-house four that appeared to rock any momentum he hoped to take into the second set.
"I'm just disappointed that I didn't make it through," the former world champion told BBC Scotland. "I tried my best but it just wasn't quite good enough on the day."
The 30-year-old wasn't the only Scottish bowler to through their final bowl of this Commonwealth Games, with women's pair, Caroline Brown and Beth Riva exiting too.
Their fate was already sealed before taking on Cook Islands, but the pair ended on a high with a straight sets victory.
Like Banks, Riva was involved in her first Commonwealth Games, while veteran Brown competed in her fifth.
