Wightman is looking to pick up where he left off in 2022, a year in which he won world gold, European silver and a Commonwealth Games bronze.

Getting to, and making an impact at, this summer’s Olympic Games in Paris is the big target.

“You get forgotten about pretty quickly – the sport moves on so,” he suggested. “That is only a good thing if I don’t get any attention drawn to me and I can go into the season a little bit more under the radar and not looked at.

“I have got no loss of confidence that I can come back to my best and perform as well as I need to to try and challenge for a title there.”

However, Wightman needs to make sure he takes “no unnecessary risks” between now and then.

And, with the Olympics front and centre in his thoughts, he has had to make some “tough decisions’ about his schedule. He will miss the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow in March.

“It is a shame because we don’t get many home championships or home games within our careers and our lifetime,” he added.

“A World Indoors in Glasgow would be one of the biggest that I could have, but I am sure there will be enough Scottish athletes for the home crowd to cheer.

“It is just the sad thing about an Olympic Games is that it takes priority over everything else, which means that you have to make those tough decisions to miss championships like that. It would be one that I would love to be at, but sadly I will have to be a spectator there.”
